Project Evagoras I & II 1 PC Per Classroom until year PCs Per Classroom until year computers per school NO SUPPORT PERSONNEL

Prospects… Servers by the year 2008 in Primary Education Clients (Thin Clients or Fat Clients) by the year 2008 in Primary Education

‘Apoplous’ Research : 1 Computer for every 4 students : 1 Computer per desk Windows 98/Office XP Linux/OpenOffice/StarOffice (2003)

Problems Identified Having a Lab inside a classroom requires heavy maintenance A lot of failures can occur (hardware or otherwise) Any disturbance in the teams leads to negative learning results!

Proposed Solution Move from Fat Clients to Thin Clients Investigate Computer Recycling (June 2004) Work with H.T.E. (Sun Microsystems Cyprus) for a possible solution Evaluate K12LTSP (Fedora Core/LTSP)

Year 1: One school, 200+ students One Classroom, 28 students 14 Clients (Pentium II/Celeron) with LAN cards that support PXE K12LTSP Server OpenOffice 2.0 / StarOffice 8.0 (Betas)

COLLABORATION

Conclusions Even a modest server (Intel 3GHz with 2GB RAM) can run up to 15 clients OpenOffice/StarOffice serious MS Office replacements Fedora Linux offers an extremely user friendly environment WINE can compensate in the (few) cases where proprietary software is not available on Linux!

Sharing The Ideas The ‘apoplous’ web site went online early 2004 Early 2005 moved to ‘Moodle’ May 2005 released the first ‘OpenEducation’ Report

OpenEducation Reports Bimonthly Great comments from many sources! Updating with new content and new columnists!

Reporting Research Published two books: Using Windows/MS Office (100 pages) Using Linux/OpenOffice (261 pages) Both can be downloaded from

Year 2: Schools 1 school equipped with SunRay 170s 3 schools equipped with Intel-based PCs used as Thin Clients with Fedora Core/LTSP

Classroom of Tomorrow March June 2006 (Pilot Study) September June 2007 (Implementation) 1 SunRay per student Interactive whiteboard ‘Digital Days’ Digital Curriculum through an LMS

How it works: L.O. LMS StudentsContent Forums GradesParents Teacher

Q & A 1 Are SunRays/ Thin Clients the Ultimate Solution for school computer labs? Answer: YES!

Q & A 2 Are SunRays / Thin Clients the Ultimate Solution for the ‘one client per child’ school? Answer: NO!

Why Not? Too restrictive! Too many cables! Still rely too heavily on the keyboard for input!

A look into the future...
