The California Department of Education thinks it can harness the insights and spare time of its teachers to make high-quality educational materials available to every aspiring student while saving local taxpayers over $400 million every year. The California Open Source Textbook Project  runs on the same software that powers Wikipedia. It's already running a pilot program to create a world history text for tenth-grade history classes. By doing so it is joining tech companies like IBM and Sun and top universities such as MIT in developing free open source educational materials that anyone can use and large communities of educators can improve.

 

In Tet Project we are using Web 2.0 technology and collaborative processes. This is really cutting edge stuff.

 

Congratulations to all of us!
