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.

If these
concerns are unfounded, can they be substantiated with
evidence ? Guess Arun or Vimal may be able to clarify.
