Hi.
What's that "computer upcycle project" ?
For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.
~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.
This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
🧑🏫 En CM2 aujourd’hui, dans la classe de Benjamin @blagarrigue, les élèves ont rédigé un ticket sur la Forge pour proposer une amélioration de e-Fluenceur (https://e-cole.fr/e-fluenceur/)
🎯 Objectif : optimiser l’affichage du texte en repensant les boutons
👏🏼 Sur la Forge, même les élèves participent à l’évolution des ressources !
Félicitations !
Vous utilisez quelle technologie ?
Orca intégrée à Emmabuntu DE 6, ou quelque chose de plus spécifique ?
To be clear, I don't contest your opinion about canned lessons; still, as you point, it's a useful skill to be able to start with one when the circumstances require it.
Well, an open source lesson collection would be a way to make it count, even if not counted.
I suppose that things like that already exist, but they probably should organize at a larger scale...
If you ever write a good "howto" about how to use a canned lesson and make it excellent, I'd be interested...
There are "summer curriculum development grants" and this helps a little, but it's not always work done during the summer.
Right now I'm organizing my old worksheets and tests so they will be easier for other teachers to use. I know the department head will be pleased with this, and the other teachers will like it, but it's extra work and "not counted"
I think most jobs can look like this. And I don't have a great solution. I just wish teachers were recognized more for this kind of work.
