Exploring how technology can be used in an ELA classroom.: Open Access and the Classrooms of Today

Amyluv's bookmarks 2017-09-29

Summary:

  Lately I have been delving into the idea of open education and all that it entails, especially in relation to the classrooms of today and tomorrow.   It seems that the idea of open education is one that is only growing in popularity, and for solid reasons.  Open classrooms provide current, easily accessible, easily adaptable digital resources to classrooms worldwide.  They save schools money by removing the need for textbooks, and by having multiple resources at the fingertips of students and teachers alike.   OERs may soon replace textbooks as they are superior in many ways.  The cost is minimal, they provide more student interaction, and are current with information.  A good summary of open education and it's benefits can be found here.
