As many of you may or may not know, I previously worked at another school district within the area. They were a Windows district having difficulty justifying the expensive costs of Microsoft software, despite the insane educational discounts Microsoft provided. It's just far too expensive these days, yet technology is being demanded more and more in the classroom due to the degree of advantages that come with the equipment. We began to flirt with Ubuntu systems and servers in our environment. To say we had outstanding success is an understatement. I parted ways with this district in September of 2011 due to taking an opportunity in Penn Manor School District, which is the district being referenced in these technology blog links. While there are a lot of similarities between school districts in the area, there are a lot of differences too. A very welcoming difference was the fact this predominantly Apple district was rocking the boat by transitioning to Linux. While I came into the picture mid-transition, it's very apparent that Penn Manor is having just as much success with Linux as my previous district did.
Below are some technology blogs from the Penn Manor School District in Pennsylvania regarding the development phases of Ubuntu in the district, for thin clients, servers, desktops, and laptops.
