In addition to the CPS case study, you'll also learn how you can implement technology solutions that will benefit your district from the desktop to the data. Most importantly, you'll see that these solutions are free or available at subsidized or discounted rates, allowing you to do more with less. Curriki is a community of educators, learners and committed education experts who are working together to create quality materials that will benefit teachers and students around the world. It's is an online environment created to support the development and free distribution of world-class educational materials to anyone who needs them. Our name is a play on the combination of 'curriculum' and 'wiki,' which is the technology we're using to make education universally accessible. At Sun Microsystems we understand that educators are being forced to figure out ways to do more with less — or in the best case, to do more with what they have. To do this, they want open technology standards that don't lock them into proprietary "silos" and a Web services model for deploying critical applications. With more than 20 years experience in the education market, Sun can help you create learning and administrative environments built on open technology standards, giving every member of the education community secure, personalized access to resources that support academic progress.
