K-12 Open Content CD
Posted by karen on February 8, 2008 in Uncategorized
K-12 schools have some unique circumstances that can make using OERs a challenge. Among these are concerns about inappropriate content (prompting the need for a pre-screened “frozen” version of materials) and extensive filtering and blocking systems that make accessing some open sites impossible.
As such, I am going to start work on an Open Content CD for K-12 educators. Most likely, this will either be a free downloadable resource or perhaps nominally priced ($5?) to cover shipping. (I’m worried that this will make it “commercial” though, which will restrict the content I can include. On the other hand, a free download will likely be large and may limit its usefulness to some teachers. A dilemma. Any thoughts?)
If you are interested in this idea, take a minute to complete a short survey so I can get ideas about what would be most useful to you.
