Linux Chromebook notebook computers in their classes to access 7th grade social studies and history lessons taught by Jame Sanders.\u00a0 The students use the Linux Chromebooks at their desks to access Mr. Sanders on-line history lessons.\u00a0 You can see his <a title=\"on-line history lessons here\" href=\"http:\/\/historywithsanders.blogspot.com\/\">on-line history lessons here<\/a>.\u00a0 The student have also created their own blogs.\u00a0 An example is here, <a title=\"Rebecca L blog\" href=\"http:\/\/rebeccal2017.blogspot.com\/\">the blog of Rebecca L<\/a>.\u00a0 The chromebooks were generously provided by a donation Google obtained by Mr. Sanders directly.<\/p>\n<p>Linux computers at the KSFBA have ebbed and flowed.\u00a0 For years, there was a Linux computer lab, which was eventually replaced by a Microsoft Windows lab, due to preferences by an administrator with a fondness for Microsoft Windows and a lack of familiarity with Linux.\u00a0 There has always been a presence of Linux computers at KSFBA, though, and the Partimus volunteers have a special fondness for the KSFBA, because it the first school that we supported with Linux computers.\u00a0 The upcoming 2012-2013 school year should see an increase in Linux computers, both because Mr. Sanders is hoping for more Linux Chromebooks, and because Partimus is hoping to secure more notebook computers to install with Ubuntu Linux.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2011-2012 school year is drawing to a close all over the US, including the KIPP San Francisco Bay
