Curriki
I didn't know that Scott McNealy, the CEO of Sun, was so interested in education and in helping teachers. He set up Curriki, a site for exchanging lesson plans and other educational material. It sounds good. I need to get back and look at it more.
Recently renewed interest in online educational resources (and a bit-o-Googling) led me to your site. A former teacher and webDev hobbyist, I am curious...
I am watching for Curriki.org to go live. I have even created a wiki to start some conversation about the space (what do we want, what do we need?). Would you be willing to join a wiki-conversation about education?
If you are curious, maybe you would visit Curriki Workshop, and share 2¢ about online curriculum development. What do you think should emerge from Curriki? BTW - XWiki is the wiki engine that Curriki is deploying, so by posting at Curriki Workshop", we can learn the wiki markup that will be in play once Curriki goes live.
That sounds good and I will check out Curriki Workshop. I like the idea of Curriki more than projects where universities like MIT just put their curriculum online. I think this has more potential to create usable materials.
