Open source software is many times referred to as free software. This software is usually created by groups of people and they grant access to the public for free. For example, Firefox, Audacity and Linux are all various types of free open source software. Audacity provides a way to edit multiple tracks of audio and can import/export audio.
I would utilize open source software in the field of education so that I may take advantage of free software that I cannot purchase. In preparing presentations for my future students I know I will be utilizing many different software. Thus, with open source software I cant still use quality tools and applications without the expensive price.
Gimpshop is a type of free open source software that allows users to edit and manipulate images. It is very similar to Photoshop because has many of the same features that Photoshop provides. I would utilize Gimpshop primarily because I do not have Photoshop on my laptop nor would I like to pay the expensive price for it.
