Hello

The original question was: Our district is choosing from three software
programs:

* Rubicon Atlas

* Tech Paths

* Curriculum Mapper

Does anyone have experience with any of these programs? Is it good or
bad?  I did check the LM_NET archives and found only one hit on
curriculum mapping software from October 2006.

Responses are below. I was asked to post a hit.

1) We use Curriculum Mapper.  It is easy to use.  You can copy year to
year and just make changes.  You can attach standards.

2) . . . we're using Curriculum Mapper in Lakeville, and it is very user
friendly. It has great reporting features . . . It works fine in both
Mac and Win environments.

3) We are using Rubicon Atlas.  I was a member of the committee that
selected the software for our district.  I have found both the support
and the ease of use to be excellent.

4) We use Curriculum Mapper.  The teachers seem satisfied with it.

5) Our school started with Curriculum Mapper this fall.  I took the
training to train teachers last summer.  I don't know anything about the
other programs, but Curriculum Mapper is easy to use to me.  The
important thing is to develop a template for your school/district of
what you want each map to look like.

6) The school district in which I work, Carroll Community School
District in Carroll, IA, began using Rubicon Atlas at the start of the
school year. . . . Our curriculum director sent our standards and
benchmarks into the company and they posted them in each of our personal
folders for us to link to with our various units. Additionally, we can
show infusions with technology, career, and other areas.
