This assignment has value to CTER 2 students. Thanks to Paul for covering the background and clearing up some questions. With that information and a number of other sources, we will attempt to further our understanding. By the way, many thanks to Becky, Tammy, George, and Gloria for good points of relevance to Open Source. I concur with Sue and Jennifer s theories.
Cost is an important factor to the educational world in many aspects.
Cost per hour of instruction, cost of infrastructure, cost of educational products, etc. However, in the sense of open source, schools may indeed have been to the cathedral. So much so, that they cannot separate themselves from the church . The reason is simple. Those who run our schools, i.e., school boards, administrators, parents, and others, are afraid or inept of the use of technology.
