I found this week’s class on open education very useful. As teachers, we want to share knowledge, and every teacher I have met says “If you like an idea or technique, take it! Credit it a few times, then just keep doing it”. It was nice seeing people posting content for others to use (of course giving credit where credit is due is always important!) to benefit the greater good of learning around the world. I think that the open textbooks on the B.C Open textbook project, in particular, is an incredible resource because it makes education and learning more accessible for anyone. Also, OER commons is wonderful; particularly to me because it is likely I will be the only teacher in my subject in my school, so having resources online to look at in the absence of subject-specific colleagues is comforting. I think a fascinating thing to do for my learning and practicing, is finding a resource that I am allowed to modify and try to indigenize it and make it applicable to my teachable if it isn’t. Or, use them as ways to practice writing learning outcomes for my students. I look forward to discovering more sources and ways to use them, and I think these are incredibly beneficial for teachers, especially in rural areas.
