Welcome to K12EdCom - An Educational Commons

The mission of K12EdCom.org is to promote and publish OpenCourseWare for K12 schools. OpenCourseWare is curriculum and learning material published under the Creative Commons License. Everything published on this web site is free to use and redistribute. Read the full license details here.

We chose K12EdCom as our name because we want to provide educational materials for children aged 5-18 and we believe in the idea of the information commons. We want to create a commons of educational materials and resources developed collaboratively by a world-wide teaching and learning community.

K12EdCom.org will host curriculum materials and will link to other sites with freely available content. Educators who are ready to publish curriculum should form a publishing team via the K12EdCom Forums and publish their work here or create links to their projects.

K12EdCom is a community project. We believe that education is an important and worthy endeavor. Creating resources for people who want to learn is a good way to spend one's time. That's why we do what we do. We hope you will enjoy the resources here and that you will find a way to contribute.
