+<h2>Ambedkar Community Computing Center (AC3)</h2>
+
+<p>The following information was submitted to us by the group of
volunteers
+working at the Center.</p>
+
+<div class="edu-cases">
+
+<h3>Location</h3>
+
+<p>The Center is located in the Sudharshan Layout off Bannerghatta Road
+in Bangalore, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karnataka#Education">
+State of Karnataka</a>, India.</p>
+
+<h3>About</h3>
+
+<p>The <a
href="http://slumdweller.wikispaces.com/Community+Computing+Center">
+Ambedkar Community Computing Center</a> is not a private or public
+educational institution, it is a computing education center run by
+youths from a local group called Ambedkar Sanga that works in the slums
+of the area.</p>
+
+<p>The Center was founded in 2007 in an effort to bring the world of
+computers close to underprivileged children and youths who otherwise
+would have little opportunity to get in contact with this technology.</p>
+
+<p>The group consists of around 15 children and young boys and girls
+from 13 to 23 years old. They attend classes 3 times a week for 2 hours
+each session.</p>
+
+<h3>Motivation</h3>
+
+<p>The area in which this Center is located lacks even the most basic
+living conditions. We feel that the kids from this place should get a
+good thirst for Freedom while learning computing too, and Free Software
+serves this purpose. Free Software is a way to talk about Freedom.</p>
+
+<h3>How We Did It</h3>
+
+<div <span
class="removed"><del><strong>class="photo"></strong></del></span> <span
class="inserted"><ins><em>class="pict medium"></em></ins></span>
+
+<a href="/education/misc/ambedkar.jpg">
+<img src="/education/misc/ambedkar-sm.jpg" alt="Image of a student handing
+a copy of the essay 'The Future is Ours' to Richard Stallman." /></a>
+
+</div>
+
+<p>No migration process was involved. We are Free Software advocates so
+we started directly by installing Free Software in all computers in use;
+therefore, we haven't faced any particular difficulties in setting up
+the systems. Our main difficulty regards the lack of hardware. We use
+only laptops, and we need as many as we can get. We rely on donations
+for our work.</p>
+
+<h3>Commitment to Free Software</h3>
+
+<p>We have five work stations, all of which are laptops and all of them
+run fully free operating systems.</p>
+
+<p>All of the programs we use are Free Libre software. For example, we
+use <a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a> for
+spreadsheets and for general document writing, and
+<a href="http://directory.fsf.org/wiki/GIMP">GIMP</a> for
graphics.</p>
+
+<h3>Results</h3>
+
+<p>Browsing the web using Free Software helps these young boys and girls
+to have access to the external world in safety and confidence. Free
+Libre graphic programs such as GIMP allow them to express their
+creativity freely and easily.</p>
+
+<p><a href="/education/edu-software-gimp.html#Mani">One of the
+underprivileged kids</a> who attends classes at the Center has achieved
+a high level of skill in the use of GIMP. His works have been presented
+and sold at a local Free Software conference. The picture on the right
+shows him handing in to Richard Stallman a copy of an essay titled
+“The Future is Ours”, which was produced at the Center.</p>
+
+<p>Some of the kids who attend our classes also take computing courses
+at school. They report that the skills they learn at the Center are of
+invaluable help for them to follow and pass those courses
+successfully.</p>
+
+</div> <!-- class="edu-cases" -->
+
+<p>We are informed that the outstanding effort of Free Software
+volunteers is expanding in these deprived areas of the city, with

+<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 <span
class="removed"><del><strong>href="http://www.ilug-cochin.org/"></strong></del></span>
<span
class="inserted"><ins><em>href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621163732/http://www.ilug-cochin.org/"></em></ins></span>
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>

+<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>

+
+<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>

+<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 <span
class="removed"><del><strong>href="http://www.ilug-cochin.org/"></strong></del></span>
<span
class="inserted"><ins><em>href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160621163732/http://www.ilug-cochin.org/"></em></ins></span>
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>

+
+<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,

+<p>Other training activities were conducted jointly by the school and

+
+<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>

+
+<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>
