Curriki's Blog

As the person largely behind Curriki’s tweets, I am constantly looking for articles and new Curriki content that could be useful to our community. As a result, I read a lot of Google alerts, as well various edtech and curricula groups on Ning, LinkedIn, Twine, Curriki, Digg, Mashable, etc. to find the latest news, “oldies but goodies”, and inspirational open source content to share.

At the end of each week/month, I check in with HootSuite Analytics, Google Analytics, Facebook Analytics, and WordPress Analytics, to see which tweets and posts have resonated most. Here’s a look at last month’s top 10 tweets for @Curriki:
