Teachers, principals, and other administrators can review and react to these plans online. It is also designed to allow teachers to copy and paste lessons from week to week, or year to year, and to share them throughout a school or across a district. Acadia's OnCourse Lesson Planner, a webbased lesson-planning application from a New Jersey startup called OnCourse Systems for Education, automates much of the lesson-planning process with online templates. Enhanced collaboration capabilities-particularly the sharing of lesson plans-were also at the heart of a culture-changing simultaneous rollout of a new curriculum and a new lesson-planning approach at the Acadia Parish School District. The set of add-ons, called Campus Pack that Amarillo has employed, uses wiki technology to provide tools for collaboratively creating and editing rich-media websites. Documents published on a wiki are subject to what is known as open editing-anyone with a web browser can modify them.

Bump lessons as needed, and make notes right in the planner to improve your experience each time you deliver a lesson, year after year. Among the district's more innovative tweaks to the Blackboard system is the addition of a set of add-ons from Learning Objects, maker of social learning applications, which supports the use of wikis. Dirk Funk, the district's instructional technology facilitator, found that, with a little tweaking, the system could be used as a collaboration tool for curriculum development. Blackboard, the popular internet-based file-sharing network, is designed to deliver online courses, store content, and host discussion boards. Back in 2003, Amarillo Independent School District (Texas) had begun using the Blackboard Content System to provide lessons online. Freed from the nuisances of paper-based methods, districts are making creative use of digital tools to move their curricular documents online, where educators can collaborate on course development and lesson planning.
