Teacher Benefits using Open Educational Resources at Bay College

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
This video was made possible by a grant from Achieving the Dream. Through this grant Bay College will create degree pathways using Open Educational Resources. Open Educational Resources are resources licensed with a Creative Commons license type.

I learned about Michigan's eLibrary offerings! Do you know about these?? I'd love to see more collaboration with MEL, public libraries, and school libraries.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope my district is able to leverage these resources in a way that will not be overwhelming to my teachers. Sloooooow PD and lots of encouragement &support!

# data[].attributes.body
I want to find these OERs for the secondary level!!

# data[].attributes.body
OER is a phenomenal concept every teacher in the United States should be aware of.  All teachers in Michigan should be required to take the EduPaths Course as part of their continuing certification steps.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can contribute to using and making open educational resources also!

Share more information with my District Leadership Team.

# data[].attributes.body
Excited to see what my team of teachers does with OER. The help of a tech consultant is crucial for implementation.

# data[].attributes.body
Want more information about the vetting and curation process and

# data[].attributes.body
Connect with our district level administrators about a plan moving forward.

# data[].attributes.body
Educate tech staff on OERs and how to support them

# data[].attributes.body
I plan on pursuing a plan with my Curriculum Director - identifying needs and starting small to begin implementing a systematic, sustainable OER model.

# data[].attributes.body
Going to share introductory concept of OER's with our 4-session PD for instructional technology teachers at our final session later this school year. Also plan to combine concept with summer training coming up in Summer of 2018.

I'm ready to dive in!

Who do we contact for assistance?

# data[].attributes.body
Love the resources. I'm searching for ways to ensure that there is no bias.

# data[].attributes.body
I can’t wait to continue learning more!

# data[].attributes.body
Lots of great resources, information and ideas. Glad I came; wish I wasn't the only one from my district.

# data[].attributes.body
Help more teachers explore what OER are out there and help them figure out how to incorporate these resources into their classrooms.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still wondering how to ensure well intentioned teachers, given creative license to embrace OER's, don't lower expectations for struggling students by 'personalizing' their education.

Share information with our administrators and media specialist- go slow to go fast.

I plan on sharing all of the wonderful things I learned today with my PLC this week!

# data[].attributes.body
PD needed for teachers to use EQuIP Rubric and Lesson Screener which can help evaluate alignment AND quality. It should be a step in any curriculum adoption process, including teacher created/curated materials.

Next Steps - Keeping the momentum going....

# data[].attributes.body
I'm excited to hear how attendees want to keep the conversation going - how can we continue to connect on #GoOpen and more broadly OER? How can we make this "stick" at the leadership and grassroots level?

# data[].attributes.body
Such a glimpse into another world. K12 has a different language, knowledge base etc. OER can perhaps build bridges between K12 & higher ed.

# data[].attributes.body
Putting all of these sources  into a document, sharing it with the supt and curriculum director and asking what is the next step. Oh, and creating a supportive team!

# data[].attributes.body
Collaborate to create something great to fill the gaps and to create engaging/relevant resources.

# data[].attributes.body
We've been using OER's for years, now we're just getting more organized to share and help each other?  #nobrainer

# data[].attributes.body
OER's are exciting. Can't wait to share what I've learned today.

# data[].attributes.body
Thinking about the teachers I can support to help steer the curricular creation they are already doing to incorporate OER. Then use that work as artifacts to encourage others on their journey.

# data[].attributes.body
Spread the word to others in my district/county

# data[].attributes.body
Create opportunities for teachers to come together to curate/create OER

# data[].attributes.body
Review current curriculum materials. Present OER opportunities to Cabinet and Administration.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m thinking about first steps and I feel like for this to be successful all of our departments have to be on board. Need to plan logistics and coordination in our district. TAKE DOWN THE SILOS!!!

# data[].attributes.body
I will begin an on-going conversation with my administrative team about OER. I will also start thinking about/establishing a team to focus on this.

- There is a difference between OERs and Free. The difference is the licensing.

- Lingering Q - How can we increase the knowledge of teachers and staffs to understand the difference between Creative Commons resources and Copyrighted resources?

- Begin to find ways that we can educate all stakeholders in the school communities about copyright and creative commons.Then, we can get them creating their own resources and sharing them (after we change the district policies of many of our school districts).
