Open Education Resources are various learning resourced used for Educators that help give them access to sharing ideas and website. The three open education resources that found my interest were scholarship website, lesson builders, and extensive libraries. At first, I only thought teachers or educators find project ideas, classroom activities, and decorations from Pinterest. So the idea of open education resources really opened my eyes. I found interesting that an open education resource that educators have the view of certain scholarship websites. So, teachers have more insight on various scholarship that can help their students. I know this is problematic in certain school areas especially those that have a higher rate in marginalized students. This resource could help teachers notify students on different financial views after a high school diploma.
Also, the educational resources to lesson builders were fascinating to my bringing. Especially because I thought that the school year was planned out and teachers could only follow a certain curriculum that was going to be tested on the End-of-course exam. But, once I saw this it could help educators have a better understanding of the classes then work on each lesson base on their pace. Finally, the other educational resources that took my interest were extensive libraries. These are other databases for areas such as research, organization, skills, and a website to help gain knowledge. This would be very helpful for educators in all different kind of ways especially for them to follow up with their teachers. The link attached is an open-educator resource blog that has different segments of resources for educators that will give them a list of links to each category they choose:

Check out my comment for Kinsley and Katherine!
Hey Courtney! It sounds like we were equally as surprised about OER's and the freedom teachers/educators really have with them. I think it's really cool that teachers are able to be more expressive and don't have to stick so strictly to a manual from the beginning of the year to end. Like in almost all things, I think collaboration with teaching is a great way to help kids achieve maximum learning!
ReplyDeleteHey Courtney, I also thought they found these ideas on Pinterest or websites as such. Finding out about OER's was just as fascinating to me as well. Although I knew teachers were supposed to meet a curriculum, I knew they each did it in their own ways, however, I just thought they came up with these lessons off the top of their heads, I never really knew they got their ideas off the internet and databases.
