-<p>The bad news is that educational technology has largely failed to deliver on its promise. Its focus on efficiency rather than on learning has resulted in a further reinforcement of education as a system of instruction to curricula rather than one of student construction of knowledge. The good news is that Free/Libre Software can help, not just because it tends to focus on putting powerful tools into the hands of its end users, but also because Free/Libre Software espouses a culture of doing and sharing in a context of critique, reflection, and personal responsibility. In this session, we will review some tangible ways in which Free/Libre Software is and can have a positive impact on education and some things we can and should be doing better. We'll then discuss strategies for advocating for Free/Libre Software in education systems both in the US and globally. The next generation of computer users are in school today. We need to ensure that they take advantage of the opportunities afforded by Free/Libre Software.</p>
