| − | === Add-on boards (shields) ===
| + | |
| − | ::''main article: [[Rpi addOns]]''
| + | |
| − | The [[Rpi GPIO]] pins on the board allow for the connection of many shields, adding more functions to the main board. These range from sensors (Rpi Gertboard) to connectivity (adding a VGA connection).

| − | === Peripherals ===
| + | |
| − | ::''main article: [[Rpi Peripherals]]''
| + | |
| − | Most computer pheripherals will work with the Raspberry Pi without any problems.

| − | | + | |
| − | == Education ==
| + | |
| − | ::''main article: [[Rpi Education]]''
| + | |
| − | The Rpi is geared towards eduction. Here you should find teaching methods, hints and tips about how to use the Rpi in the classroom.
| + | |
| − | A whole lot of good links can be found in [[Rpi Educational links]].
| + | |
| − | === Manual ===
| + | |
| − | [http://www.computingatschool.org.uk/ Computing at School] is writing a manual for the educational use of the Raspberry Pi.

| − | == Projects ==
| + | |
| − | ::''main article: [[Rpi Projects]]''
| + | |
| − | While the Rpi is intended for education, it is also the heart in many projects, from home automation to clustercomputers (called [[Rpi bramble]] in the jargon). Projects worked out here are useful as examples, inspiration or direct manual for your own projects, or those for more advanced pupils.
