Linux Goes to the Head of the Class

A new book on open source education teaches school leaders and parents why kids need to see coding as more than cool. Energizing Education through Open Source: Using Open Source Software to Enhance Learning by Christopher Whittum makes a strong case for deploying the Linux OS and its academic software in schools. The step-by-step lessons and free online resources Whittum provides make this book required reading for developing computer-driven curriculum and at-home studies.
