  • The initiative was a natural fit for Curriki, an online community for educators and a repository of free and open curricular materials, said the organization’s executive director, Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan. “It’s so in line with what we do that it was easy to pull together the documents and materials and to show districts and states how to create collections of content,” she said. The organization has crafted instructions to help schools, districts, and states make use of the resources on Curriki that could be helpful in the event of school closures.

  • "a new kind of digital divide exists, one that 10 years from now will separate those who know how to use new media to band together online from those who don't."
  • "It will not be on 'official' channels and much of it will be 'under our radar' and on their own time. But this will change the relationships and deepen them between our classes. And more important, it changes our role as teachers and leaders of student learning."
