Hello I have had a delightful exchange with the head of ICT at Falmouth School as a result of inviting a member of staff and a student or 2 to the Penzance Open sessions. At the end of the eachange I offered a demonstration of GNU/Linux to A-Level students. His reply will tax me somewhat so I offer it to you for guidance. As always, if I do anything like this I will gladly defer to a more expert member if anyone is up to accompanying me. Here is his reply. "I may well accept your invitation to come in and demonstrate some of your software. As well as the obvious if you have any free and easy to use multimedia software that you could show that would be great. Students have to create e-books and we currently use Macromedia Dreamweaver with some dropping down to PowerPoint and saving as html. Some students are producing a multimedia presentation and will at present use PowerPoint then convert it to flash using a conversion program. Any ideas you have in this area would be well appreciated. Students also have to talk about the digital divide and free industry standard software such as Star Office can help close this. If you are serious about your offer perhaps we could discuss exactly what you have to offer , what our students need and come up with a cunning plan." Ideas please.
