Our Common ObjectiveTechnology as a tool to change education worldwide “By leveraging technology and the network we will bridge the digital divide and deliver world-class education to everyone.” Scott McNealy Co-Founder, Sun Microsystems Founder, Curriki

Why? Public Health Poverty Education Economic stabilityPolitical stability Environmental Health

In our own ways, we are both Redefining • The What, When and Where of education • Who participates in learning and teaching • How education is delivered Together we can do more!

Technology has always forced a re-invention of education Before Gutenberg • Knowledge passed on in books one hand copy at a time or via oral tradition for “The masses” • Access limited to Clergy and Aristocracy • New knowledge evolved slowly After Gutenberg • Greater access to commercial (not free) knowledge • The enlightenment and the industrial revolution • Creation of new knowledge by ‘experts’ increases • ICT and the WWW After ICT and the WEB • Tools of knowledge creation become democratized • Learning becomes a creative/productive process rather then consumptive process • Access is free and open

Who We Are Curriki is the leading K-12 global community for teachers, students and parents to create, share and find free learning resources that improve teacher effectiveness and student performance. 501 (c) 3
