Hi guys,

Could somebody point me to some nice presentations about promoting the use of free software at schools?

I'm a high school teacher in Greece (Rodos island) and I'm doing a presentation at a local conference.
The subject of the conference is "Informatics in education" and the subject of my presentation is : " free software at schools, a necessity & use paradigms"

Thanks
Alexis

This is a reasonable book (in PDF), that you can use to base a presentation on:

This may have some info on, but I haven't had a good look around:
