Talk:Raspberry Pi

While I like the Raspberry Pi, this resource seems like a simple link farm. There are lots of great Pi resources, it would be nice to adapt a few for working with here. Also, I slightly object to it's reference as being used in "developing countries" -- While I think this is possible, I do think there is a general lack of electronics education in high school in the developed world too, and that the Pi was put together as a low-cost package to try and address that.

@Historybuff: The resource was added as a placeholder for notes regarding Raspberry Pi usage. The headless configuration link was particularly helpful as I was trying to work on one. It's related to Snapcraft, which I was working on recently. My students have appreciated these types of lessons where they get readings, videos, and then tutorials and hands-on activities. I don't have any additional activities to add right now, but you are correct that many are available. If you'd prefer, we can make the main page more generic and add a lesson subpage with links and activities.

The "developing countries" comment was directly from Wikipedia. Be bold and correct it if you wish. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 02:42, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

@Dave Braunschweig: Thanks for the response. I was more thinking out loud, and in a previous generation it was frowned upon if the resources weren't actually in the wiki. I'm writing some stuff up for some courses I'm helping to prepare, after I get that done I'll see if I can't put some content together for this page too.
