O.E.R



Open educational resources (OER) are any resources available at little or no cost that can be used for teaching, learning, or research. The term OER generally refers only to digital resources and,
as such, tends to focus on usage in online or hybrid learning environments, though electronic content can certainly be used in face to-face environments as well. As I looked on O.E.R I learned the different ways o.e.r can help the child's learning process.It can originate from colleges and universities, libraries, archival organizations, government agencies, commercial organizations such as publishers, or faculty or other individuals who develop educational resources they are willing to share.









 This may seem hard but its really simply. Here's how it work.Each resource is issued under a license that spells out how it can be used: Some materials may only be used in their original form. Instructors and individual learners can download OER and use them in formal or informal learning situations, and one of the hallmarks of OER is their flexibility. Many 
are modular in nature, allowing them to be used in-novel combinations to suit particular learning activities. Because open resources are so malleable, they can be adapted to keep pace not only with 
new technologies but also with changes to academic disciplines and teaching methods.

  After doing a little research on my own I found three primary resources that I believe will help my students express themselves but also teach them at the same time. I found a website that gives better hands on examples of what OER is and how it affects the children as well as the teachers. Hewlett is just one of many websites that explain how OER works. This one just gives more in dept examples and it explains it better.

Now with every good suggestions are bad results. In Article 7, they explain both pro's and con's of OER.  
Some of the pro's are developed in an open environment can be vetted and improved by a broad community of educators, s have the potential to spur pedagogical innovation, introducing new alternatives for 
effective teaching, and it brings a greater range of tools within reach of more users. Some of the con's are value of educational resources tends to decrease without periodic updating, and many open resources are not kept current.

Here is video explainging OER and all it has to offer The OER'S. Also I inked three websites that can provide more information, examples, and teach about open educational resources Training Communication Learn
