+<h2>Vocational Higher Secondary School Irimpanam</h2>
+
+<p>The following report is based on information provided to us by the
+school's staff.</p>
+
+<div class="edu-cases">
+
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>The school is located in Irimpanam, an area close to the city of
+Tripunithura, in the Ernakulam district of the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala#Education";> State of
+Kerala</a>, India.</p>
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>Founded in 1940, the <!--a href="http://vhssirimpanam.org/"-->Vocational
+Higher Secondary School Irimpanam<!--/a--> is a privately owned school aided
+by the State. It offers instruction from Upper Primary to High School
+levels (grades 5 to 7 and 8 to 10 respectively). Nearly 1,000 students
+from 10 to 15 years old attend the school.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>Our institution took special interest in promoting the main aspects
+of the philosophy of the GNU Project, such as the freedom to share
+knowledge and the freedom to cooperate with our community by
+contributing improvements to computer programs. This awareness about
+Swathanthra Software <a href="#swathanthra">(1)</a> was largely the
+result of what we learned at the meetings organized by the
+<a href="http://www.ilug-cochin.org/";> Indian Libre User Group
+(ILUG-Cochin)</a> in the nearby city of Kochi. Attending those meetings
+also helped us to work in close connection with the Free Software
+community.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<p>The migration to Free Software in our school was the result of a
+project designed and established by the Government of Kerala, called
+<a href="https://www.itschool.gov.in/";>address@hidden</a>. The project,
+started in 2001, involved several thousand schools in Kerala and in 2006
+it switched completely to Free Software.</p>
+
+<blockquote class="photo">

+alt="Image of students at a Free Software event."/></a>
+
+<p>Students at a Free Software event organized by SSK VHSS Irimpanam.</p>
+</blockquote> <!-- /photo -->
+
+<p>Training courses for teachers were implemented by the government to
+teach us the basics of the new Free Operating System and how to
+install it. The new system was customized for the first time by
+<a href="http://space-kerala.org/node/10/";>SPACE</a>, an agency based in
+Kerala that promotes the use of Free Software in the private and public
+sectors. SPACE, as well as local Swathanthra Software users groups,
+played a fundamental role during the process by providing constant
+support to teachers. One of the workshops organized by SPACE helped us
+to build the website of our school using Free Software.</p>
+
+<p>Training was not limited to software, it also included teaching the
+basics of hardware maintenance to teachers and students. In our school,
+10 years old students know how to assemble a PC.</p>
+
+<p>The use of Free programs in the classroom was facilitated by the
+implementation of training modules aimed at instructing teachers on the
+use of specific programs for teaching various subjects.
+For example, there was a training module for teachers of Mathematics on
+how to use <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Dr._geo";>Dr Geo</a>
+for teaching geometry, another one for teachers of Chemistry on how to
+draw organic molecules using
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Chemtool";>Chemtool</a>, and
+many others.</p>
+
+<p>Other training activities were conducted jointly by the school and
+ILUG-Cochin to teach us the use of different Free Software applications
+such as Blender, Inkscape, and the command line interface.</p>
+
+<p>The school has also opened an
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat";>IRC</a>
+channel where students can ask questions about issues they may encounter.</p>
+
+<h3>Commitment to Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>At the beginning the new system was used on a dual-boot basis,
+because we teachers were not familiar with Free Software, but we
+soon got acquainted with it to a great extent. At present, no
+proprietary systems are installed in any of our computers and no
+proprietary programs are being used. Only Free Software is being used in
+the classroom and in the administration offices.</p>
+
+<p>We use a wide range of free programs in the classroom, such as
+<a href= "http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GIMP/";>GIMP</a>,
+<a href= "http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/TuxPaint";>Tux Paint</a>,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Audacity";>Audacity</a>,
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GPeriodic";>GPeriodic</a> and
+<a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/";>LibreOffice</a>,
+but there are many others.</p>
+
+<p>Students are also introduced to the programming language Python as
+from grade 8 (13 years old).</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>

+</blockquote> <!-- /photo -->
+
+<p>Education in the State of Kerala has become "IT-enabled", meaning
+that students are getting first hand technology knowledge while learning
+regular curriculum subjects outside the IT Lab. This is possible due to
+the large number of high quality educational applications available in
+GNU/Linux.</p>
+
+<p>The transparency and the cooperative method of Free Software helped
+students and teachers to dive deep into technology and made them capable
+of contributing to the community in various ways. One important
+contribution was the localization of the interface of
+<a href="/education/edu-software-tuxpaint.html">Tux Paint</a> in
+Malayalam, our mother tongue.</p>
+
+<p>Another contribution was the addition of new stamps in TuxPaint. Native
+flowers were photographed and the pictures edited by 6th and 7th grade
students
+using the image editing program GIMP. The resulting images were then
integrated
+in TuxPaint with the name of the flowers written in Malayalam. As a plus,
+students recorded with their own voices the name of the flowers, so when the
+user selects one of the stamps, she will hear the name of the flower in
+Malayalam. A video was recorded to illustrate how it works and how the
activity
+was done.</p>

+
+<p>Both activities were promoted by Swathanthra Software Koottayma of
+VHSS Irimpanam <a href="http://sskvhssirimpanam.wordpress.com/";>
+(SSK VHSS Irimpanam)</a>, a Free Software group of teachers and students
+based on the school. Its aim is to build awareness on the philosophy of
+Free Software and to introduce new applications in GNU/Linux as a way of
+contributing to the community. The group organizes monthly meetings and
+it performs various kinds of activities to encourage its members to
+experiment and explore Free Software so as to put into practice the
+freedoms that it grants.</p>
+
+<p>As a way of keeping in touch and sharing experiences with other
+schools and with the Free Software community, teachers and students each
+year participate in events such as the National Free Software Conference
+and the Cyber Safe Day.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- class="edu-cases" -->
+
+<p>The commitment and the collaboration of teachers, students and local
+groups was essential to the success of this large scale government
+project.</p>

+<h2>GCompris</h2>
+
+<h3>Description</h3>
+
+<div class="photo">
+
+<a href="/education/misc/gcompris.jpg">
+<img class="recessed" src="/education/misc/gcompris-sm.jpg" alt="Screenshot of
the GCompris
+interface showing the various boards."/></a>
+</div>
+
+<p>GCompris is a cross-platform complete educational suite for children
+from 2 to 10 years old, and it is part of the GNU project. It includes
+more than 140 entertaining activities that help little kids learn skills
+such as the recognition of letters and numbers, the use of the mouse and
+keyboard, basic algebra training, reading time on an analog clock, vector
+drawing, language learning through games, and much more. The program
+includes a simple text processor to produce documents with basic text
+style. Another feature is the animation tool, which can be employed as a
+simple and effective method to support story telling, thus improving
+communication with children and helping them to express themselves.</p>
+
+<p>GCompris includes several activities grouped on a yellow bar to the
+left of the screen, from which the child can choose as soon as the
+program is started. Such a design makes it easy to add new activities or
+to adapt the program to specific needs. The program itself and all the
+activities are available in many different languages.</p>

+<p>To learn more: <a href="http://directory.fsf.org/project/gcompris/";>
+FSF Directory</a>, <a href="http://gcompris.net/";>
+GCompris Official Website</a></p>
+
+<h3>Who's Using It and How</h3>
+<p>Gcompris activity-based design makes it highly and easily adaptable to
+particular environments. One example of innovative use of the program is
+in the work done by the
+<a href="http://insight.kerala.gov.in/";>Insight Project</a> of Kerala,
+in India. The project aims to bring the benefits of Free Software to
+differently abled people in the State. They found that GCompris is a
+powerful tool to improve the communicative and motor skills of mentally
+challenged persons like children with autism. The project is using and
+adapting the program for the particular needs of its target community.</p>
+
+<p>The Insight team implemented a training module for teachers that
+provides instructions on how to use the different activities of GCompris
+when working with children with special needs, to help these children
+acquire abilities such as eye-hand coordination, memory, listening, and
+improving the child's attention span. The module addresses different
+levels of education, from pre-school to the primary level. A small
+handbook was also distributed to parents and special educators to help
+them understand how to use the software to improve children's skills.</p>
+
+<p>GCompris is also used to help older children understand the
+relationship between numbers, learn basic arithmetic operations, train
+them in analytical reasoning, and to improve communicative skills as
+well as spelling, reading and writing.</p>
+
+<h3>Why</h3>
+
+<p>Teachers report that it is extremely easy for them to implement
+GCompris in their curriculum since children find it intuitive and fun
+to use. The program is also an excellent resource for mentally
+challenged children and adults.</p>
+
+<p>GCompris has become an important resource to speed up the child's
+learning process in the context of developing countries like India,
+where the only chance for a child of getting accustomed with computers
+is during school time. At school, the computers are often shared and
+children have limited time to access them individually. GCompris is easy
+to use and intuitive, so it is particularly useful in this environment
+because there is practically no time spent on getting to understand how
+the program works. With GCompris children develop quickly the motor
+skills required to use a computer.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>GCompris respects the users' fundamental freedoms and this permitted
+the Insight developers and specialists to adapt the software to the
+children's needs, creating new activities, and proposing the
+innovative use of the program to help autistic children and their
+parents. The Insight team is also free to distribute copies of the
+modified version to teachers and parents, who can use the program at
+home without restrictions. The modified version has proved effective in
+improving the academic and functional flair of intellectually
+challenged children.</p>

+</div>
+
+<p>Tux Paint is a cross-platform drawing program created specifically
+for children. Little kids as young as 3 years old have no difficulty in
+finding their way around its clear and intuitive interface which
+features large buttons identified by a label as well as an icon so that
+the child can easily recognize them. At the center of the screen there
+is a white canvas for the child to draw making use of a wide variety of
+tools and paint brushes. As a start, the child can load outlined
+pictures to be colored, as in a coloring-book.</p>
+
+<p>The program includes all of the most common drawing tools such as
+lines and brushes for free-hand drawing and coloring, geometric shapes,
+sizing, an eraser, the "Redo" and "Undo" options, plus sound that plays
+while painting and a special tool called "Magic" for impressive effects:
+rainbow, glitter, chalk, blur, flip, and more.</p>
+
+<p>Along with the Magic tool, the other popular feature among children
+is "Stamp", which contains loads of pictures and clip art that can
+be "stamped" on the canvas, such as plants and flowers, animals, holiday
+art, planets, and much more. Many of these stamps are provided with the
+program out of the box, and others are available as separate collections
+to be installed. Many users contribute their own art work to be included
+as stamps in the program; here we are going to see an example of
+how this was done by a group of children from a school in India, thus
+putting into practice the software freedom that the program guarantees.</p>
+
+<p>Tux Paint is available in more than 80 languages, including minority
+and right-to-left languages. Such a large number of languages is the
+result of contributions made by users from all over the world.</p>

+<img class="recessed" src="/education/misc/tuxpaint-stamps-sm.jpg"
alt="Screenshot of

+</div>
+
+<p>Comments by <a href="http://tuxpaint.org/comments/";>home users</a>
+and stories from <a href="http://tuxpaint.org/schools/";>schools</a>
+using Tux Paint are presented in the official website. There are reports
+that the program is one of the most helpful tools for children to get
+acquainted with basic computer graphic skills while providing a highly
+attractive environment for them. However, the distinctive feature that
+makes Tux Paint preferable to similar drawing software for kids is
+the fact that it is Free Software, meaning it comes with no restrictions
+of any sort and the user is granted a series of freedoms. For example,
+one of the freedoms is that the user is allowed to install the program
+in as many work stations as needed, which is specially important for
+schools.</p>
+
+<p>Another significant freedom that Free Software guarantees is the
+freedom to modify the program so as to adapt it to the user's needs and
+to redistribute copies of the modified version. It is thanks to this
+freedom that Tux Paint is available in so many languages, including
+those spoken by minority groups. In fact, translations into less widely
+spoken languages have been provided by the users themselves. This is so
+because most of the time, companies whose business consists of
+development of non-free software adopt policies on the basis of market
+size: if the market is not large enough to ensure profit, they are
+generally reluctant to invest on it.</p>

+pronounce the name of the Anthoorium flower in Malayalam.</p>
+</blockquote> <!-- /stamp -->
+
+<p>A good example of how software freedom can be applied in Tux Paint is
+the work done by 11 and 12 years old students from the
+<a href="/education/edu-cases-india-irimpanam.html">VHSS Irimpanam</a>
+school in the State of Kerala, in India. The work consisted in adding a
+series of stamps to the program, from photographs taken by the students
+themselves. They took pictures of autochthonous flowers and processed
+the digital images with the free libre GNU Image Manipulation Program
+<a href= "http://directory.fsf.org/project/gimp/";>GIMP</a>, adding also
+the name of each flower in English and in Malayalam, the local language.
+As Tux Paint has a sound function, students also recorded with their own
+voices the name of the flowers in Malayalam, so when one of these
+flowers is chosen to be stamped onto the canvas, the user will see and
+hear the name of the flower in Malayalam.
+<a href="http://audio-video.gnu.org/video/irimpanam-high-sub.en.ogv";>
+Watch and download the video</a> and <a
+href="/education/misc/irimpanam.en.srt">the SubRip subtitles</a>.</p>
+
+<p>An additional useful activity done by this school by applying the
+freedom to modify the program, was the translation of the Tux Paint
+interface into Malayalam, the language spoken in the state of Kerala.</p>
+
+<h3>Why</h3>
+
+<p>The freedom to modify the program is an important resource that was
+used by the school to reach beyond the scope of teaching basic computer
+graphical skills or entertaining children. It was used to show them
+that information technology is not something to be subjected to, not
+something that should be imposed upon the user, but an instrument to
+serve users according to their requirements.</p>
+
+<p>The freedom to install the program in all computers in the Lab was
+also important, since the school has limited economical resources to
+invest in licenses. By distributing copies of the original and modified
+version of the program to the students, the school provided
+assistance to families undergoing economic hardship.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>Adding stamps to Tux Paint was an exciting and enriching experience
+for the students. First, they analyzed how the program works and
+discovered the mechanism that the program uses for the implementation
+of stamps. Then they learned how this particular characteristic of the
+program permitted the addition of stamps and how to do it. They also
+acquired a deeper knowledge of GIMP during the manipulation of the
+images. The whole process gave them an opportunity not only to develop
+new technical abilities, but also to identify and appreciate local
+flora. Most importantly, they learned that anyone, even non programmers
+or children, can actually influence and improve information
+technology when software freedom is granted.</p>
