[Ubuntu-Classroom] Fwd: [Training Community] Fwd: teacher certification

[Belinda Lopez]

Cathy,*
*  I saw your question on the Linuxchix list and haven't had time to 
reply until now.  While the Ubuntu Desktop Course (both instructor-led 
and eLearning) are suitable for teacher audiences, there is no 
certification that is specific to teachers or the classroom at the 
current time.  Only the Ubuntu Certified Professional leads to a 
certification through the Linux Professional Institute (LPI); that 
material is aimed at System Administrators.  I'd be happy to discuss 
yours and other thoughts on the idea of teacher training and/or 
classroom training materials during our next Training Team meeting, 8 
October, 20:00 UTC in #ubuntu-training or another time if you're not 
available then.

Off the top of my head the only linux-specific teacher training 
materials that I know of are some of the materials developed for the 
OLPC project.  Their recent book sprint included just such materials and 
I also know their deployment process now includes some basic teacher 
training.  You can check the olpc wiki for more info and I'll try to 
locate more info as well. 

regards,

Belinda
