Re: [OS:N:] Classes (was: Open office community classes)

I would love to see the list of things that you end up teaching. And some of the teaching materials.

There is already a Knoppix for Kids distro, put together by the Open Source Education Foundation and Tux4Kids. You can download it from one of their mirrors:  http://www.osef.org/

Best of Luck

Subject: [OS:N:] Classes (was: Open office community classes)

I finally had my meeting with the local community college dean.

They are interested in providing a series of several open source
classes.

I need 8 or 9 things to teach for ~ 3 hours apiece...that will have an
appeal to a broad audience where most people use Windows.  

I have a plan to teach:
Open Office - Writer
Open Office - Calc
Open Office - Impress
Parent/Kids - Tux Paint (Others?  Likely - Considering making a kids
knoppix distro)
Graphics Basics - Intro to gimp and 3D rendering
Graphics Advanced - Advanced gimp and 3D rendering (more tips/tricks)

So that's 6 of the 8 things.  Does anyone have some input on this?  I
was thinking maybe an Intro to Open Source and Linux...but wasn't sure
if that shouldn't be a marketing thing to introduce the classes to the
community.
