In my school I'm trying my best to push students away from using Word. If they're making quick notes, I ask them to do it in a text editor. If they're presenting work for review I ask them to write it in markdown. This is only for my CompSci classes, but it's a start. My next mission is to break the stranglehold that PowerPoint has on my students.

- MarcScott 13y agogit is something I'm working towards. Ideally I'd like github to be our learning platform.
- keithpeter 13y agoI thought that might be the direction that you were moving in, and I think that is a really good idea for your particular students to get used to a source code repository and version control quickly. One thing I have not looked at yet but may do in the future is git-annex [1] and the associated GUI [2]. I'm hoping I can use git-annex to sync folders between laptops just using an external drive. [1] http://git-annex.branchable.com/ http://git-annex.branchable.com/ [2] http://git-annex.branchable.com/assistant/ http://git-annex.branchable.com/assistant/ That will allow music/video/images to be synced as well as text.
