Ck-12 offers "FlexBook" textbooks and other OER for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). I will use this resource for teaching in our STEM lab at the Intermediate School, and as an excellent source for PD when teachers are learning about new technology tools at their fingertips.

The 6th graders study social issues and many tend to choose environmental issues. The National Science Foundation OER would provide a source of information for students to narrow their topics during the research process. It provides current, up-to-date articles surrounding issues and discoveries scientists and researchers have recently discovered about various environmental issues of concern. Students are also required to write their opinion about their topic at the end of the research unit. I feel this OER resource would help students gain critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need to write an opinion on an environmental topic.

I really like this site. I collaborate with the 5th grade teacher in my district to teach a similar lesson. This OER resource you found is something I will probably refer to in the future. Thanks!

This is on the higher end of education. I was asked to review the history offerings just a few months ago. It is, I guess, a landing place for a whole lot of open education classes from across the web.

For HS courses that don't fall under AP restrictions, these materials can be helpful for retooling sections of curriculum or even adding a unit to a well rounded curriculum since the site has 5 available for Astronomy alone!
