My Open Source Philosophy - I have come to realize that I’m really not competing with other teachers. Maybe I have some local competition, �but in reality, if a student is not coming to my class or my school, then I’m not competing with other teachers in any way… If you work more than a �District away, then we really are not competitors. Let's Share... Collaborate... Help each other... I, and you, may have sweat blood and tears developing a lesson plan, a lab, or presentation… There is an ENORMOUS unpaid value there… I get that… I don’t begrudge teachers who are trying to sell their collateral… I’m just saying that is not what I’m going to do. This is my plan… I’m going to share virtually everything I develop. Join Me!!! See More
