   * Getting increased use of ICT both for students and teachers by increasing physical access to ICT equipment.
   * Be tools oriented, and therefore emphasize the use of ICT tools in the school's subjects.
   * Give full access to educational software for everything from music forming and use of the Internet to write a paper, simulations and games.
-  * Be thrifty and utilize the financial resources we have in the best possible way.
+  * Be thrifty and utilise the financial resources we have in the best possible way.
  
  Through these main objectives we will achieve:

  Research shows limited use computer equipment to learning in school. Data usage has stagnated and in some subjects gone back research shows (ITU Monitor 2005). The use of ICT in schools is often individualized, students learn to become consumers. One has learning methods that prevent the sharing of knowledge in school. Few teachers use ICT daily. Internet and text-related services are the most important forms of computer use in schools.
  
- Simply said, teachers focus too much on teachers using tools for office administrative work such as MS Office or OpenOffice.org. What they ought to focus on was the use of simulations, editing pictures, audio and video communication on the Internet, and games.

  Home use is often quite different. At home students are producers and use ICT mostly collective and communicative. They put together and send each other pictures, exchanging content, using the major opportunities for recording, editing and sharing of movies which is possible with today's computers with broadband. Children and young people also play video games more at home than at school (ITU Monitor 2005).

  To get all the equipment more in use, requires considerable effort by the teacher. They must be continually educated in new forms of learning to use the new ICT tool in their teaching. There must be more emphasis on the youth's actual use of media and forms of communication. It is not enough to provide a learning platform and e-mail. You should have the tools fully support the new forms of media use.
  
- To achieve this, the equipment must be adapted to the software and online services teachers and students use in their schoolwork. The browser is arguably the most important program students use in learning. Many will also be surprised that office program OpenOffice.org or MS Office is very relevant in lower grades. Then it is simple program to write a paper, drawings, communication, simulations and music forming apply. So what is important in the choice of software is to provide good access to the Internet and support for active learning using ICT tools relevant the school subjects.

  With diskless clients you get full support for multimedia, film and USB pen and more. The advantage of thin clients are getting reusing from as far back as 1995. At that time the machines did not have capacity to video. The USB standard was not fully developed. Computers from 2000 and later usually have a much higher capacity. Such machines can fine show clips video from NRK, DVDs, and one can play games.
  
  The advantage of diskless clients is they provide the same performance as so-called thick clients or computers with most of the software installed locally. At the same time one get the same low operating costs with diskless clients as with thin clients. This is because all the software managed central server machine.
  
- Today it comes over 50 the school relevant programs in Skolelinux. In addition, browser, email client and OpenOffice.org with 8 different office applications. This is much more than what comes with Microsoft which mostly offers browser, e-mail and 5 current office tools.

  With Debian Edu, it is also relatively easy to customize menus for the various stages of education so that we can reduce the number of educational programs. Especially since some applications are introduced in 4th-5th grade. While programs may be popular at first or second stages of education will be too easy when students have gotten older and learned more. In addition, there is an increasing number of educational programs on the Internet. This is software worksing on any platform. So you can use the programs at home on Apple or Windows, and the school's Debian Edu. Students handle this just fine.
