| − | = Learning at the prompt =
| + | obsolete |
| − | At school I teach students in 8th grade the basics of Linux and networking. For these classes the school has around 30 redundant laptops.
| |
| − | Kids work with these devices in 6 ict classes, that is 9 clock hours every week. Maintenance is a challenge but also part of the learning process. Ideally, after one trimester, students can identify failures with the hardware themselves and repair them. <br>
| |
| − | I created this document to study to what technical level students can repair old laptops and put them into use as Linux devices.<br>
| |
| − | I start with a simple table to get an idea of the data and actions involved. I have chosen for a wiki format as this format is a proven solution for knowledge mapping as it is the format behind Wikipedia. Although a database approach to this subject would be technically more sound in terms of redundancy, understanding the workings of the Wikipedia will lead to more relevant learning experience of students.

| − | The goal is to install a local media wiki server in the classroom which can be maintained by students.<br>

| − | The laptops are organized in boxes, each box contains 4 laptops with adapters.<br> The boxes are coded with electrical color tape. On the photo, see the rim on top of the box<br>The laptops also carry the colors of the box they belong to.

| |
| − | * 'type' denotes the brand and type of the laptop and the order number of .

| − | Note: This effort is inspired by the discussion I had with Justa about the communication of the state of Techninc tools, member projects and inventory. The idea is to use a combination of color codes and index numbers. The colors express the state of the object. The number refers to a webpage on the wiki.<br>
