[[http://wikieducator.org Wikieducator] is a community sponsored by the [[Summer of Content organizations#Commonwealth of Learning|Commonwealth of Learning]] where educators develop and share open content curricular materials. We are looking for ideas for how to get more teachers into the community and make it easier for them to post and share their content. Please help us brainstorm proposals here on what kind of sample lessons we could develop as good examples for teachers looking to create their own curricula.
''There is no set format for this section, and it can be as long or as short as you want. What do you want to do, why do you want to do it, and how will it happen? What kinds of people would be good at working on this? How will you know if you've succeeded? What similar things have been done before? You can supplement (and should) your application with external links to helpful resources, but a reader should be able to understand the project you are proposing even if they only read the abstract you've written here.''


Example content lessons developed on [http://www.wikieducator.org WikiEducator] to inspire teachers and students to develop free content for education.
Good example content lessons developed on [http://www.wikieducator.org WikiEducator] will inspire teachers and students to develop free content for education, show off "cool" or unorthodox ways of making learning resources that people may not normally think of, and also teach people something useful.

* A learning resource that does not use any words at all (no need for translation), but only pictures and videos for teaching.
* Learning resources on something that is not a traditional school subject - dancing, for instance, or how to play a sport.
* Lessons plans teaching children how to make their own open content projects (starting a school newspaper, putting on a play, shooting a movie, etc).

Project description

[Wikieducator is a community sponsored by the Commonwealth of Learning where educators develop and share open content curricular materials. We are looking for ideas for how to get more teachers into the community and make it easier for them to post and share their content. Please help us brainstorm proposals here on what kind of sample lessons we could develop as good examples for teachers looking to create their own curricula.

Good example content lessons developed on WikiEducator will inspire teachers and students to develop free content for education, show off "cool" or unorthodox ways of making learning resources that people may not normally think of, and also teach people something useful. Brainstorm ideas below.

As projects get more fleshed out and developed, they can become their own proposals; see directions on how to post a project proposal on the Summer of Content projects page.

  • A learning resource that does not use any words at all (no need for translation), but only pictures and videos for teaching.
  • Learning resources on something that is not a traditional school subject - dancing, for instance, or how to play a sport.
  • Lessons plans teaching children how to make their own open content projects (starting a school newspaper, putting on a play, shooting a movie, etc).
