Webresource: Curriki.org- Global Ed & Learning Resource

Welcome back to school! Like your students, Curriki has been growing by leaps and bounds over the summer.

Take a look . . .

NEW FEATURES

Be sure to keep an eye out for the new "templates." On Curriki, a template provides a suggested structure for a learning resource. There are now templates to guide you through creating a Constructed-Response Quiz, a Student Activity, a Lesson, or a General Learning Resource. In addition to these, several others are in the works.

And now, when you are working in the Currikulum Builder, it's possible to easily add and position files like jpgs and flash animations--even video.

Curriki members now have access to a tool called VIDITalk. With VIDITalk, users can capture video that has been uploaded to the computer or created by a webcam, and add it to their learning resources. Check it out by signing in and clicking "Add a Learning Resource" in the navigation bar on the home page!
