Vero e proprio OS (sistema operativo) che sostituisce gli altri sistemi operativi sulla LIM e dunque ha senso nell'aula scolastica. E' opensource. E' portabile, quindi - messo in chiavetta - può essere usato a casa dagli allievi. Contiene solo software libero (la suite di Libre Office, per citarne uno) e una serie di strumenti didattici fondamentali, compreso VoxOoFox per il riconoscimento vocale (per i dislessici, ad esempio).

"Introduction California school districts and County Offices of Education-collectively, Local Educational Agencies ("LEAs")-collect a vast amount of data in providing educational and related services. This data may include pupil records, medical records, financial information, and more. With the advent of individualized learning management systems, LEAs are sharing such data with third-party vendors more than ever before. There has also been a corresponding, and sometimes competing, increase in compliance measures to protect student data. This guide is intended to provide an overview and streamline some of the key laws governing student data privacy. Please note that the laws referenced herein may not be exhaustive. This guide contains information only and is not intended to provide legal advice, nor does it establish an attorney- client relationship. LEAs are encouraged to contact their legal counsel or member organization for any questions or clarifications concerning the content contained herein.
