Stimulus funding for open curriculum
Posted by karen on May 28, 2009 in Uncategorized
There is a flood of stimulus money coming into education this summer, including a substantial amount for ed tech. This is one-time funding that is to be spent quickly, but in a way that yields significant, long-term gains.
I can think of no better way to use such funding than to develop high-quality, open-licensed curriculum resources that would be available for free use worldwide.
A more detailed concept paper of this idea is available here.
If you are with a school district that would be interested in a collaboration on such a project, please contact me at karen at k12opened dot com.
