Juan, One should think of an experiment or exercise which makes use of the other levels of freedom thereby making it impossible for a non free environment to replicate. Replication should then get entangled in their non free preventive licences. In this example, it is possible to introduce a learner to make a movie and edit its contents using non free software.

It is not that text book/curriculum doesnt talk abt other freedoms. But effective communication is not happening at school level on ideological aspects of free software.
There is scope for improvement. It would be good some one can design interesting activities for children which effectively communicate the different freedoms to children. Any way
Dear Arun. What we did in Italy (just for a blender course) was teaching the students to build a film you can find here: /docs.hipatia.net/films/blender_deu/michele_piccolo.mpg unfortunately is in Italian (i can do the subtitles) but as you can see the child learned to do the film , and at the same time about freedom, as you see the guy (michele) is going outside the screen searching freedom.
I think this aproach was very good for us. The group become freedom-fighter :)
warm regards juan
it is not an easy task to ensure that majority of 60,000 teachers effectively use it.
regards arun.

Raj, I think there would be problem if you chose to adopt or recommend the *mode of educating* Free Software in Kerala. Nothing that I know here uses the opportunity to equip student community to get introduced to Free Software through its different Freedoms other than *Freedom Level 0*.
This is a fine trap that Kerala's IT@School project is led into, as of now, because all these learning exercises can be replaced by Freewares or Sharewares or other subsidised Proprietary software.
If these concerns are unfounded, can they be substantiated with evidence ? Guess Arun or Vimal may be able to clarify.
