I like the idea. I can't check out openlessons because our web filter does like it. I will check it out when I go home tonight. I have found it easy to implement a creative commons license for lesson plans. Very easy to make sense of and show teachers why they should use it. Easy to mark work as well. They also have an education section on their site. Check it out. <a href="http://creativecommons.org/education/">http://creativecommons.org/education/</a> Tim <div>On 6/29/06, Daniel Howard <<a href="mailto:dhhoward@comcast.net"> dhhoward@comcast.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> > Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2006 07:46:14 -1000 > From: "R.

Basically, teachers just do what they're already doing (lesson plans) and we help them find OSS apps to enhance the lessons. The site can have other info besides lesson plans useful for teachers using OSS in classrooms of course. Some of my teachers are already talking about doing something like this with their existing lesson plans, now that they have so many working computers available to them. I'm sure at least a few could be talked into starting something for us.
