Hermann. Notes on my working life.
This term one of my classes (starting higher general secondary school with 14/15 year old students) is a class equipped just with one pc and a beamer. No laptops and perhaps only sometimes the possibility to use a computer lab. […]
The son of my neighbour finished school a year ago and went to a renown University studying a technical subject. He told me, after one year of studying, that it’s very hard to master all the tasks and that he […]
Here are some more results from my survey — setup and details see part 1. Please keep in mind that three different groups (which are rather small) have been asked – with different education level (9-11) and taught different subjects. The […]

For a long time now I feel the need to teach Linux in my ICT classes as this opens a whole new world of possibilities and insights. Seeing only windows is a very limited view, especially never working on the […]
