Common Curriculum, simply put, is an ICT resource that every teacher should have. Just imagine that instead of writing out your daily lesson plans in Microsoft Word or even on paper, you could save them in a place that is easy-to-use, accessible 24/7 from any computer, and with the ability to share lessons and units with colleagues at the click of a mouse. Then, for the extra cherry on top, when you come back to school from your summer holiday, all of your lesson plans that you entered into the website will still be there, ready for you to simply change the date of the first day of school, and away you go. Common Curriculum will put all of your lessons into place as you had them in the previous year. So, while your colleagues feverishly try to remember what they did last year, and put all brand new lesson plans for the upcoming academic year, you can sit back and chill.
Luckily for me, my colleague, David, stumbled upon this website last year. In fact, he made a introductory blog post to the website, which you can read by clicking here. It is a brilliant way to understand the basics of what the website is all about. This post, however, is about the major updates and features that the creators of Common Curriculum have added to the site this year. They have made it even easier to collaborate with your colleagues. There are so many new features, in fact, that I decided the best way forward would be to show you the website in action. Check out the video feedforward below...
In order to try to keep the video somewhat short, I was only able to show you the major updates to Common Curriculum. There many more to see. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment on the blog, or contact the creators from the website. They will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.
