Dear Curriki Members,
We are writing to ask for your vote here.
As his recent blog post elaborates, former Google Executive Paul Buchheit is preparing to donate funds to a cause he and you thinks is important. He writes, “I’m going to donate a bunch of money, but I want random people on the Internet to decide where it goes.” In particular, Buchheit says that he would like to fund a cause that focuses on education, health or freedom.
As you are aware, Curriki’s mission is to eliminate the achievement gap by providing free access to high quality open education resources to educators and children across the globe. With more than 80,000 registered members and partnerships with districts such as San Jose CA and Nassau County NY, schools and districts are realizing that the open source community can do more than just eliminate costs, it can also serve to better engage teachers.
Curriki has suggested to Paul that he fund the development of a complete set of high-quality K-12 open source content. With these resource, educators like you could work individually or with colleagues to build a complete curriculum entirely out of free and open source resources.
In order for Curriki to keep on keeping on–building and providing free curricula to you and your fellow learners across the globe–we need the support of generous donors like Buchheit. We hope that you will take a minute to register and vote for Curriki today.

Thanks!
The Curriki Team
P.S. Feel free to invite your friends and colleagues to vote as well. Thank you!
