Open Source Software is a new type of technology that is being used by people in the technological community. The source code is made available for people to modify the program and improve how it is used. It allows for collaboration on programming and makes it available to all. Firefox is an example of open source software. If something is not open source, then people have to constantly pay for updates and other resources to ensure their programs are running smoothly.
When I graduate, I hope to use as much open source software as possible because it is free and allows for so much innovation. I can use different software to prepare lesson plans or programs for my students. There is software that is good for office work, such as preparing documents, but there are also programs that allow me to publish podcasts and other resources for my students. This will be especially helpful when I do not have a lot of money to spend on software.
This video gives a description of a few open source software programs that are free and a description about them. It shows how you can save money and gives a basic description of open source software and how it can be used. The video is from Youtube. It is pretty much a beginners guide to open source software.
