@Ruth_Mottram Huh, my kid was required to show up with Windows or macOS because of “WordMat” used to do math assignments in Word.
Almost everything else they use is open source.

@holsta @Ruth_Mottram Yeah same - bunch of lockin around the Microsoft office suite means there's no choice. Grr. It's at the education department level too, so serious structural change is required to fix this. Same thinking that has all the updates and timetable info pushed out on Facebook while the school website moulders untouched. |
@holsta They seem to be in hock to microsoft in FKB - assignments etc require log in via skoleintra to easyiq which is basically outlook and from where they can use other microsoft apps (in the browser), mostly powerpoint afaics for presentations (I'm also unsure of the value of some of the education they're getting in this school too tbh)
