| How We Determine Our Grades | |
After watching a movie with your children or students, we encourage parents and teachers to look for education opportunities to teach with movies. Here are a few discussion topics that can help with lesson plans or teaching in the home.
Linux is an operating system that controls the functions of your computer, similar to the way Windows 98, Windows ME, or Apple’s OS9 works. The difference is that Linux has been created by many different people from around the world, and is available virtually for free. Many other computer programs are available for Linux as well, most of them for little or no cost.
The people who have created Linux and its accompanying software feel computer information should be open and available to everyone without cost. How do you feel about that? Do you think computers would be as advanced as they are today if there was no money to be made on software? Is there room for both “open source” software and commercial software?
