I happen to share to my students, in Sto.Tomas, Davao del Norte in our subject Management of Educational Technology, the Open Education Disc which all of them liked. I was amazed with their acceptance and eagerness to try the software. Baby steps to FOSS advocacy.

Will share more soon.

Thanks.Share
