This week I made a new Web 2.0 friend.

Mrs. W. is a first and second grade looping teacher in Onoro, ME.  Using Linux and Open Source Software has brought excitement back to her classroom (after the No Child Left Behind program ushered in an "Is it on the test?" mentality).

Recently she blogged about Linus Torvalds' story "Just for Fun: The Story of an Accidental Revolutionary" by David Diamond, which basically humanizes a technogeek.

Her blog is exciting as it gives a non-techie view of Open Source Software and how it can be used in education.  My own posts usually tend to be geeky and terse so I enjoy both her style and perspective.

Her blog entry about "Just For Fun" is found here:

Check it out and be sure to leave an encouraging comment for Mrs. W!
