Taking as a reference Ashont "ARNapier" 's post on last module discussion forum, I would like to bring to discussion one more time the importance of play and game in the learning process as well as in social&world change.
I want to share with you some Gamification and Game based learning websites you may find interesting to read more about this topic.
I work as a technology and robotics teacher at a k-12 school in Mexico, and I usually try to include all kinds of OERs into my lessons because I think technology need to be easy-access and affordable, as well as knowledge has to be shared. But OER in elementary schools are not well accepted yet because principals and teachers doesn't believe on its fidelity and "possible" legal constraints.
So i found this OER website i want to share with you. OER Commons is a dynamic digital content hub, offering a suite of OER implementation supports that contains everything, from roadmaps, videos, courses to training to tools.
