linux learning for school students

Posted by myles Sat, 03 Feb 2007 00:50:00 GMT

Are school students really interested in learning about Linux? You bet!

In response to the massive demand from our students at school and at HSC Online (http://hsconline.nsw.edu.au) I’ve started putting together the skeleton of an online course. I’ll be using the HSC Online site… and all the capabilities of Moodle… hoping

Initial suggestions from students include:

- the power of the shell (getting away from GUIs for real power and control)

- dual-booting (Linux + Windows… or others, too!)

- setting up a personal webserver, firewall server

 

I’ve begun with some more highly-technical content too, with a basic coverage of my 32-bit chroot install of Ubuntu within the 64-bit Ubuntu that I’m currently running on a server at school.
