This week we learned about open source software. Basically, this is software that is available on the web and the best part about it is that it is free! There are a variety of different programs that someone can find on the web to use in place of expensive programs like Microsoft Office. One example of open source software is Google Docs. This is a program that many people can find uses for.
Open source software is something that I think would be absolutely wonderful for a teacher. I already use programs like google chrome and it is something that I plan on using well into the future. A teacher salary is not very much, and as a teacher I am going to want to have the best tools at my service in order to better teach my students. Without open source software that is something that would not have been possible.

The above link is to a wikipedia page with information about open source software. I thought that this website was important because it gives information that anyone wanting to use the software would want to know. it also gives specific programs that are the most popular for people to use.
