Hey Alan, I'm forwarding this along to the Free Culture discuss list. People here might have some good ideas for you.
Adi ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alan Cheuk <[email protected]>\ Subject: [interns-summer2010] Anyone know where to get open source / CC / free basic education materials? Hey fellow 2010 Berkterns, I've been helping out here and there for an NGO in India, and they just started revamping their informal education system for street children. I'm pretty excited about it because for many street kids, this informal education is the only education they will ever have. However, I've been having lots of problems finding quality materials online to use. We can make the material ourselves, but I figure that there *must* be open source materials already available somewhere. I found they would probably be better made and less time consuming than a homemade solution. I've been struggling with this, so I thought I'd tap into the Berkman intern brain trust :D I already found oercommons.org, free.ed.gov, and various other sites, but they don't have the really basic materials we need. We are looking for things like the letters of the alphabet (english and hindi), animals, fruits, numbers, and addition/subtraction. The sort of worksheets they would have in preschool to grade 2. If anyone has any leads, please let me know! Thanks, Alan
