K12 Open Technologies

Welcome to the website for the new CoSN K-12 Open Technologies
Leadership Initiative. The initiative is sponsored by IBM, Cisco,
Pearson Education, and SAS to support the adoption and utilization of
open technologies in K-12 education around the world.

Open
source software, open standards and open hardware are poised to make a
profound impact on K-12 education. The convergence of web technologies
and a new spirit of collaboration in the education community makes this
an exciting time to get involved.

The goal of this Web site is to
help educators and technologists with the planning, evaluation,
decision-making, and implementation processes associated with adopting
Open Technologies in K-12. Initially, the site will focus on the
fundamentals of the open technologies movement in education. Over time
– with your help, we hope – the site’s content will grow in quantity,
sophistication and direct relevance to you.
