This interactive workshop will provide participants the opportunity to learn about the work accomplished through the OER content teams (Math, Physical Education and Health Education, World Languages, and Career and Education Development). This workshop will highlight the processes the different teams used to identify and align OER in their content areas. Teams will share a few of the favorite OERs along with their learnings and challenges as they undertook this exciting charge. Then the fun will really begin, participants will have time to explore some of the OER identified by these teams, or search for their own. The presenters will circulate the room providing individual guidance and support as participants join in the adventure. Participants will have an opportunity to share their excitement. In closing presenters will share next steps for these projects and possible avenues through which these resources will become even more readily available. Materials: Power Point Presentation (pdf); OER Information Sheet (pdf); Bringing OER to the Classroom (pdf); Working Agenda (pdf)
