Week 7 Showcase-Welch by https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v OER-Scenario 1: Do the research to determine the best practices for using OERs. Create a curated list of resources to be shared with teachers in your district. I view this living document as a tool for professional development. This would be a wonderful way to introduce staff to the resources below to explore and get creative with! en-us 2022-12-08 02:37:52 UTC 2022-12-10 18:00:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4bb.png What the Heck Is OER? maggiewelch1 https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413779224 A big takeaway from this article is when Wolpert-Gawron lists her criteria for effective OER:
1) Encourages creation, not just consumption.
2) Inspires interaction.
3) Allows sharing, commentating, and collaboration.]]> 2022-12-08 03:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413779224 Effectiveness & Perceptions of OER maggiewelch1 https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413783062 Although this video was geared more toward higher-education, I found it helpful to see the output of what OER can provide. How much do our schools truly spend on textbooks? How much would we be saving if we successfully curated OER to assist with our curriculum?]]> 2022-12-08 03:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413783062 maggiewelch1 https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413786935 Made with Canva-Maggie]]> 2022-12-08 03:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413786935 OER Commons- K-12 Remote Learning Resources maggiewelch1 https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413799184 This link categorizes resources between Elementary, Middle School, and High School remote learners. A pro to this resource, is how detailed the lessons can be! A con would be the mere fact that Elementary Math has 1,196 resources, while English Language Arts has only 22 resources. Being an open and available hub of learning is wonderful, but what you're looking for is not always guaranteed to even be there.]]> 2022-12-08 03:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413799184 OER and You maggiewelch1 https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2413813570 "A call to action:

As this bounty of content enters our schools, this is a pivotal moment, friends.  The mandate is to be ready and to take the lead in making sense of the content and resources that will be making their way into our schools in a big way.

The opportunity, especially for school libraries with little or no budgets, is to leverage this free content to promote access and equity, to create new user-friendly collections, and to embed the best into instruction school-wide.

We are going to need to ensure that our teacher partners can effectively search for and integrate the stuff they need.  We will need to curate workflow tools as well as stuff." -Joyce Valenza

Students benefit when teachers can reach outside of the confines of their own classrooms and create something updated, engaging, and innovative.]]> 2022-12-10 16:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2416439080 Pixabay-OER for Images maggiewelch1 https://padlet.com/maggiewelch1/linykns1ntfxfc0v/wish/2416445089 This platform allows for the 5Rs to be followed with use of images!
