Alma's "Freebies List": Educational Resources - 0 views
-
This is a dynamic list of 'freebies' that has evolved over the years. Some I have found on my own, but many have been shared with me by my friends and colleagues. You are free to share this document with your colleagues and friends as long as you don't altar it. As you find other 'freebies', feel free to let me know (alma.row [at] dallastown.net). I will keep this list updated and you can access that on my Delicious site, http://del.icio.us/almarow (click on Alma's_Freebies_List in top right corner). Look for the symbol for those additions since the last edition of this listing. Enjoy!

"polished, finished, packed with closure" - these are important words for educators in SL because the environment offers the opposite of that - it encourages creativity and makes it easy to engage in the process of constructing spaces.

Open teaching is described as the facilitation of learning experiences that are open, transparent, collaborative, and social. Open teachers are advocates of a free and open knowledge society, and support their students in the critical consumption, production, connection, and synthesis of knowledge through the shared development of learning networks.

Educators guide the process using their own PLNs, with a variety of teaching/learning experiences, and via (distributed) scaffolding.
