Використання ОС Linux в навчальному процесі

Abstract

Strong debates over the appropriateness of the use of Linux in schools do not lose their tension. This question has been actualised after schools have received the computers marked as "The Gift from PRC to schoolchildren of Ukraine" with installed OS Kylin Linux, which has to do with the Linux. This paper considers the advantages and problems of using the Linux operating system in teaching in secondary school. Unfortunately an issue introducing Linux OS to school is the lack of curriculum, instructional materials for teachers and banal lack of textbooks for students. We consider software that can be used at school during lessons as an analogue of software developed only under Windows and which is not free. The economic component to use software for Windows and for Linux has also been discussed. OS Linux is a great operating system. Its popularity is increasing day by day. It should be taught in school. Students should make acquaintance with the types and kinds of software useful in their adult lives during the lessons of science.
