Curriki

Curriki is an open source curriculum wiki. Wow. That might need some explaining. A wiki is a website that allows anyone (or nearly anyone) to modify the content of the website. Open source is a phrase referring to making your content available to anyone else to use and modify for their own purposes. So, Curriki is a website that allows you to create curriculum for others to use/modify as well as a place for you to find curriculum created by others.

Oh, and it also allows you to create your own textbook!

Just a heads up to folks about what's happening over at Curriki. The site has been adding content and updating tools so that members can develop, publish, and access open source curricula. The new
Curriki.org includes something called the Currikulum Builder - it's an editing tool that allows members to develop curriculum materials through a collaborative, wiki-based platform. Here's an interesting lesson that one educator created using the Currikulum Builder:

There's lots of great stuff and the more the community uses it, the better it will be. If you haven't already, check it out.
