Andrew Trotter reports a teaching-learning experiment based on Open Content in a Burbank Middle School in Houston whereby a teacher, Ardith A. Stewart, and her students assembled their curriculum on a class “wiki.”
The materials included students’ written postings on class topics and projects, grading rubrics, and discussion questions that Ms. Stewart prepared or obtained from teachers in other parts of Texas and the United States.
…The Texas teacher is part of a small but growing movement of K-12 educators that is latching on to educational resources that are “open,” or free for others to use, change, and republish on Web sites that promote sharing.
