21st Century Curriculum Collaboration: Nortel LearniT and Curriki

Nortel LearniT and Curriki Partnership Announcement

Nortel LearniT has joined forces with Curriki to further develop and enhance educational curricula through a community of collaborative contributors.  Nortel LearniT resources are now available at Curriki, a web site that shares our mission as a global learning initiative to provide free, accessible, ready-to-use, educationally excellent, project-based materials online. Together we can build upon our individual efforts to provide resources AND the environment to enhance their value to teachers and their students.

Read about the announcement and the commitment of Nortel President and CEO Mike Zafirovski and Sun Microsystems co-Founder and Chairman, Scott McNealy.  Hear the podcast (mp3 format) in which Mike Zafirovski and Scott McNealy, introduced by Greg Farmer,  Nortel Vice President, Government and Community Relations, discuss what can and should be done to use technology to bridge (and eliminate) the digital and educational divide and describe the curriculum collaboration directed toward transforming this vision into reality.
