For the final session on Tuesday, I've chosen to attend Curriculum Wiki: Open Source + Open Content = Digital Curriculum. For those counting, I will be live blogging this session (mostly to see what this type of activity does in terms of style, grammar, etc...).So far, Jim has given us an overview of the similarities and differences between open source and open content, as well as a list of supported software. It's pretty much over my head.
The website curriculumwiki.org is a site designed to integrate both open source and open content. This seems like a cool place to post content-based student activities for students to access and use. Any user can edit the page, etc... What's even better is that curriculumwiki saves EVERY version of the website. You can also link to a specific version rather than the default (current) version.
My initial thought is that this would not necessarily be of great value in my classroom, but it would seem to be a fantastic resource in terms of developing a content curriculum with fellow math teachers at Cochran! Rather than working individually in our own classrooms, it seems as if this would be a great place to develop content as a department (or as a school)! In fact, you can even limit access to invites only! [note to self:talk to Alex and see if he can/will do this for us].
