What I believe and why I got involved in OER
Differentiating instruction is essential to improving education.
Textbooks are not a good tool for this. Technology coupled with high quality content is. Teachers and students need high quality
resources that they can use legally to build interactive lessons, podcasts, multimedia presentations, etc.
Sharing is good and is a part of new literacies.
What is OER?
Open Educational Resources (OER) are:
Digital, free, and OPEN for anyone to use, adapt, and redistribute
Tools, content, and implementation resources
For teachers, students, and lifelong learners
How is OER relevant to education?
Source of content for teachers and students to build from legally
Suitable for “remixing” for differentiation Examples
