Looking for middle schools interested in sharing ideas
Posted by karen on January 14, 2010 in Uncategorized
I got interested in OER because of the need to be able to modify and “remix” materials in order to differentiate instruction….and also out of a disillusionment with how much money is spent on textbooks that often aren’t even used.
I am now working on a new project now to look at the feasibility of producing a core curriculum offering that is open-licensed. It could be distributed in a variety of formats, including print and electronic. Initially, we are looking at middle school math as a content area.
As a part of this, we are gathering ideas from teachers and administrators on what they’d like to see in a product like this. We want to talk with administrators and teachers to get their ideas to make sure that this new OER product meets their needs.
If you are interested, email me at Karen AT k12opened DOT com. (Note that participants need not use technology extensively or be familiar with OER.) Thank you.
