OER - Open Educational Resources
Open content neologism coined by David Wiley
Open access is about publishing
Open Source is about software
Digital of Digital Content
Content Ownership
All content is one of the three below:
This occurs automatically when something is created in tangible form.
Content Resides, is Archived, or stored
Non-Digital
In books, magazine, records and tapes that are owned individually, or by institutions
that then share use. Revising, reusing, remixing, redistributing and retaining (the 5 Rs) are more difficult than with digital
Digital
Can be stored or reside in many more locations. All 5 R’s are much easier to do.

Focused on higher ed but as noted in following video will likely be true for K12, too.

About Me:
My Linkedin profile has job history, education, publications.
After a classics degree at St. John’s and graduate creative writing at the U of SoDak, I embarked on a career of selling, implementing and showing people how to use a variety of telecom, communications, and technology systems. Packing plants in South Dakota, Dartmouth Medical Center, 3M, U of Mn, and the Guangxi P&T in China were clients, among many others.
Then, for the 16 years I taught in the MPS, I was involved in some form of system implementation; in the last 5 years that included a Moodle system for science and language arts in 3rd and 4th grade based on student created work.
Since leaving the MPS five years ago, I’ve worked independently doing LMS Integration, Design,and Implementation - Learning Outcomes Management System Implementation - Open Education Resource (OER) Curation - Blended and Online Course Design and Facilitation -
Hybrid / Blended Professional Development.
I’ve recently created a non-profit organization that provides professional development for teachers who want to implement OER

OER Commons
Launched in 2007 by ISKME the OER Commons is a digital public library.
In addition to the public library, OER Commons is a promising collaboration platform.
Microsites - Custom Digital Libraries
Hubs - Custom Resource Centers where groups can create and share collections associated with a project or organization. Currently 13 hubs, one of which is the Minnesota OER Commons/Mn Learning Commons
The Minnesota Partnership for Collaborative Curriculum is one of the parts of the Minnesota OER Commons/Mn Learning

Teacher Preparation Programs
This is a plea for the involvement of our teacher preparation programs to get more involved with OER.
Every grade level in every subject area should have at least one if not more teacher prep program involved in continuing the evolution of our education resources.
South Africa might be leap frogging us in the development of educational resources.
THE BENEFITS OF COLLABORATIVE OER DEVELOPMENT ARE RESOUNDING (see link)
What they’re not doing, yet, is making their oer LMS ready.
Science Photography Activity,
Go to http://bit.ly/29WPffB again and try the
Science Photography Activity, 3rd Grade, Unit 1- 05
The key to this activity is the questions the teacher asks and the articulated criteria for feedback by teacher or peers.
