This week I am interested in open educational resources. Please comment if you found a site you like!
One that I found is https://creativecommons.org/. It is a site for anyone who wants to learn more and use the Five R's of OER! It tells you that you can Reuse and Remix, along with sharing your own information on the site. This can be extremely beneficial to educators! I could be wrong, but as I am learning I know that Open Educational Resources can be very useful in the classroom, and provide a unique learning experience. However, I feel like it could also be dangerous? Being that some of the information could be incorrect. I think if an educator is going to use information on certain things from an Open Educational Resource, they should fact check some of the claims made this way they are not passing along inaccurate information when teaching in the classroom.
https://atom.io/ is an Open Source site that is rated #1 on the most exciting open source project on the internet right now because of it's so hackable down to the core-- meaning users can edit the website to make it however they'd like and personalize it to their own use. I never knew about Open Sources and Open Content sites but they are so interesting! I think it is good to use these sites because an educator can customize the content to cater to their lesson plans, or create new lesson plans around things that they find on these sites that they never knew before.
