The name "wiki" comes from a Hawaiian word for "quick." But Bobbi Kurshan says she recognizes that many teachers may not be quick to trust free, open-source materials. She says people should trust the educational community on Curriki to do the right thing. In her words, "We're changing the way we build curriculum."
wiki这个名字来源于一个意思是“迅速”的夏威夷词。但是Bobbi Kurshan说,她认识到许多教师并不会很迅速的信任免费而开源的资料。她说,人们应该相信Curriki上的教育社区在做正确的事情。用她的话来说,“我们正在改变建立课程的方式。”
