Transcript of Open Ed Resources: Share, Remix, Learn
What I believe and why I got involved in Open Education
Differentiating instruction is essential to improving education.
Textbooks are not a good tool for this. Technology coupled with high quality content is. Teachers need high quality resources that they
can use legally to build interactive lessons, podcasts, multimedia presentations, etc.
Sharing is good.
“Open”: What is it?
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 it relevant to education?
Suitable for “remixing” for differentiation Examples
Brings equity FREE
What does the research say? Open content is a trend projected to reach
mainstream adoption in one year or less [Horizon Report, 2010]
Key states are launching open textbook initiatives [NASBE, 2009]
Open content increases equity, access, and non-traditional learning opportunities [Atkins, et al; Bonk; Hylén]
