Open Educational Resources (OER) are high-quality, openly licensed, online educational materials that offer an extraordinary opportunity for people everywhere to share, use, and reuse knowledge. They also demonstrate great potential as a mechanism for instructional innovation as networks of teachers and learners share best practices.

How students are taking initiative to an open education. "Making the School of the Future"

Reminds me of constructivist teaching and maker spaces. My classroom is very much more structured than this but is still PBL.

How OER helps provide a variety of freely available online educational resources, that can support the collaborative development of a strong common curriculum.

From the website: "OER (Open Educational Resources) Commons a public digital library of open educational resources. Explore, create, and collaborate with educators around the world to improve curriculum." OER contains access to many different educational resources that can be found on the web. You have the ability to search by subject, grade level, and standard(s). In addition, teachers can add resources to the "commons" through a resource builder, a lesson builder, or a module builder. While not all of the content on the site is spectacular, it definitely has potential!

I believe this is a great resource because it assist in giving students and instructors high quality, low cost alternative solutions to increase their knowledge on a particular subject. This is a factor of self-leadership where the individual makes choices that can increase their ability to engage on topics in the classroom. This is of course only one choice in the plethora of available online learning resources. One alternative is the ROCC or Regional Online Collaborative Courses.

Opening video is basic but resources at the bottom are quite helpful. Creates a useful list of resources for flipping a classroom.

Great site giving proof that flipping the classroom works! This site is a great place to start because she did a lot of the research for you and gives a list of great sources to get you started.

I liked this site. It gives webcasts and web pages that you can look at. A great place to look for ideas if beginning the process of flipping. I have saved it to my library and plan to dig deeper into the many resources the author shared.

Good class openers. Brain teasers. Entry Ticket.

The use and importance of integrating Open Education Resources into your classroom.

This article talks about how develop good inquiries through good questioning and organization. I would use this article to remind me of good questioning for students.

Nicole, I really enjoyed watching this video as well. When I first started watching the video, there was an opening sentence that just drew my attention right away into the video. The teacher said, "I realized how much more they learn, then when I see that they take action and their applying the skills they learn in here, I feel like I have done my job as a teacher." When I start to begin my teacher's journey, I hope to feel that overwhelming joy of teaching my students, not just viable information, but also how it can be applied to the real world settings. I also was excited to hear that all the coordinator said that group based learning is all about curiosity. Which I believe is what we as future or current teachers try to accomplish everyday that we are in the classroom. I agree that the resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom because I hope to one day teach my students how they want to be taught material, as well as how to share that material with others around them. I believe that the resource is a use for both teachers and students. The reason why is because teachers can learn from their students developing ways, as well as how the student can teach their teacher how they can best develop and comprehend the material. I am currently not aware of any other similar resources that could be considered at this time, but I am confident that as our class continues on, there will be more resources.

"Inquiry is a fancy term for curiosity". I could not agree more. This is such a motivational video to help us as educators encourage our students to dive further in exploring ideas. Curiosity leads to the ability to create strong, driving questions. I look forward to allowing my students to take charge of their learning by encouraging them to bring up real life questions that will allow them to dive into their inquiry and research. As teachers, we must learn to take a step back and allow the students to facilitate their own learning with strong question asking!
