Open Education

As an article states, open educational resources (OER) are any resources available at little or no cost that can be used for teaching, learning, or research. Here's the article!!! The term OER generally refers only to digital resources and, as such, tends to focus on usage in online or hybrid learning environments, though electronic content can certainly be used in face to face environments as well. Each resource is issued under a license that spells out how it can be used: Some materials may only be used in their original form; in other cases, learning resources can be modified, remixed, and redistributed.

The article talks about how effective OER actually is.  It can help keep up with today's technology and provide's assistance in today's lesson writings.


Creating EBooks for Education
I chose this video because I love the idea of Ebooks.  College books are ridiculous as far as price goes.  They are even worse when the teachers who make you buy the books don't have you use them.  I feel as if an Ebook would end up being cheaper and a lot more efficient.


Creating goals in your classroom
This source is FABULOUS! It really helped show how creating goals is important in the classroom.  This would be something that I would take into consideration when having my own classroom.

Dinosaurs Stomp, Alligators Chomp
This source was enjoyable.  It gave an example of a way to teach ones and tens in math to children.  This is something I would seriously consider for my classroom in the future.  I loved how the whole thing was brought about.

All in all, OER is the way to go.  It is our future and I have no problem with that. It is something that I plan on using in the future when I finally get out into my own classroom. It's a free resource and who doesn't like free? I know I do!!
