Teaching is often described as a vocation. In the case of seven students in pre-school and elementary education at the Université du Québec à Rimouski, Lévis campus, that is certainly a truism. After remarking a shortfall in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching during their training, these students decided to launch the Péd@linux project to offer pedagogical training on the integration of ICT. Using recycled computers and the Linux operating system and related software, they created different pedagogical scenarios in order to help teachers demystify the computer world. Last January, following several achievements in schools and organizations around Quebec City and Lévis, Péd@linux, in collaboration with Horizon Cosmopolite, exported that expertise to Senegal. For six weeks, the seven members of Péd@linux thus shared both their knowledge of computer science and their culture, going so far as to build a library filled with books imported from Quebec.
