My name is Xavier Bordoy. I am a secondary school teacher of Mathematics. I am currently teaching at an adult education school located in Europe.
I use free (as in freedom) software and contents in my classroom. I like very much problem-based learning (not the same as project-based one) and alternative assessment.
I created some free (as in freedom) projects. The main ones are the following. This are focused, mainly, on teaching.
My personal project list in repo.or.cz
The most useful support you can give me is contact me and say something interesting. I'm very glad if you use one of my ideas or projects. If this happened, then I would know I'm not alone in this world. One of the best things in the world is feeling valued.
- Can you donate money? Yes, you can, although I prefer support in the form of feedback, as I mentioned before.
- Why do I accept donations? Firstly, to cover costs: periodically I have to update the domain rental (xavierb.cc) and monthly I have to pay the electric consumption bill for home server. Apart from that, I don't have any other costs. On the other hand, maintaining a quality capsule (or website) involves a lot of work and time. As it grows, more so: contents need to be selected, formatted, checked for dead links, etc. This is a lot of work. And although I do the work mainly for myself, it's always nice to see public recognition. I don't want a capsule (or website) full of ads and even less do I intend to put exclusive paid content. I don't like limiting knowledge. That's why the only way to fund the site that I've found is voluntary donation; I stress the word voluntary.
