OPEN SOURCE TOOLS FOR MATH & SCIENCE by Carol S. Holzberg, PhD

Here is a resource-rich source for math and science curriculum.


It can be found at Curriki, an interactive open-source online service containing peer-reviewed K-12 curricula. Curriki (short for curriculum + wiki) comprises a community of educators who voluntarily create and post "quality" education materials for sharing with teachers and students around the world. Membership is free. Simply complete an online form.
You can use the site's search tool to locate resources for teaching or instruction, contribute curriculum materials for use by community members, and connect with other educators. You can also modify existing content to suit instructional needs.

About Carol S. Holzberg, PhD
She is an anthropologist and computer journalist. She writes for several publications, works as a technology consultant, teaches computer classes to adults and kids, and serves as technology coordinator at three schools in western Massachusetts.
As a technology journalist, she covers the latest and greatest Macintosh and Windows products. As technology coordinator, she plans engaging computer activities to enrich conventional classroom instruction, troubleshoots ornery installations, maintains Macintosh and PC networks, and tinkers with Internet connections (It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it!).
She also writes technology grant applications (several of which have received funding!). When she's not tech-coordinating at school or writing magazine articles in the home office, she takes long walks on the country roads of western Massachusetts, reads poetry, bakes fabulous chocolate brownies (recipe available upon request), and copes stoically with the newly foundfreedoms ofan empty nest.
