Free software for teachers

By S. Hampstead & A. Condie

Voice of authors: Our vuvox investigates the issue of free, online cloudware and open source softwares as viable alternatives to paid, licenced softwares for the classroom. We address the need for creative, constructionist softwares that assist students in expression and learning, and argue for the use of free, legal softwares for students. We demonstrate the ease and effectiveness of such softwares by using cloudware and open source softwares exclusively in the creation of our vuvox slideshow.
