Education

Minnesota State is the recipient of a $978,332 grant through the Open Textbook Pilot program from the US Department of Education.  We are conducting an inventory of available materials in the open marketplace (and beyond) for the following 5 courses in teacher education:
•        Introduction to Education
•        Foundations of Instruction
•        Educational Technology
•        Introduction to Literacy
•        Human Relations and Multicultural Education
If you or a colleague you know are familiar with open or public domain materials that may align well with one or more of the courses above, we would welcome your drawing our attention to them.  We are ecstatic for this opportunity to expand the number of high quality and open materials available to teacher educators everywhere, and we are thankful for any assistance our colleagues working in the open space can provide.

For open textbooks related to Educational Technology, I highly recommend checking out EdTech Books, https://edtechbooks.org/

Introduction to Education (BETA): Becoming a Professional by Jennifer Beasley and Myra Haulmark (CC BY-SA)
Description: This book was written to provide students with an introduction to the field of education.
The book is broken into chapters that focus on questions students may have about education in general.
Although some chapters may go into more depth than others, this is created as an introductory text.

Lumen Course: Foundations of Education: https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-oneonta-education106/  Foundations of Education was created
as a broad introduction to the teacher education program at SUNY Oneonta. The faculty of SUNY Oneonta designed this book with
the intention to give an overview of topics that would be returned to throughout the student’s preparatory program.
The authors strove to create a reader-friendly overview that would be used as the basis for classroom discussion as they welcomed future educators
 and asked them to reflect on what kind of teacher they will be.

College Success

I am in search of two OER for our College Success course; a personality test and a budgeting tool. There are plenty of free personality tests and personal budgeting tools out there, but are any OER?

Take a look at the Quest for Online Success (the OEI readiness program) The Online Education Initiative (OEI) is providing the readiness for online learning program called Quest for Online Success (henceforth referred to as Quest or Quest course) to all 113 CCCs for prospective and currently enrolled students in online and blended courses.  This is currently in pilot but should be available for all CCC by Fall.  You can use as standalone or inside a Canvas course. 
If you do not remember how to get started, here is a copy of the current Getting Started email https://ccconlineed.instructure.com/courses/527/pages/getting-started-email?module_item_id=35238
If you do not remember your SmarterMeasure credentials, please email me at acrawley@comcast.net

Anita Crawley from the Online Education Initiative and Katie Winter from SmarterServices (company that provides SmarterMeasure within Quest) will answer the following questions:
•             What is Quest?

I am on the hunt for OER material around Study Skills for our Learning Strategies counseling course. Although specifically looking for study skills I will gladly accept any other suggested resources for a learning strategies course.

As part of the RxTN grant, we created some student support modules including Study Skills, Test Taking Skills, Time Management, and Reading Effectively for College Students. These modules are located at the bottom of this list:

Hi all, a couple of resources used in Oregon's colleges:
College Success:
A Different Road To College: A Guide For Transitioning To College For Non-traditional Students by Alise Lamoreaux
How to Learn Like a Pro! by Phyllis Nissila
College Success (Saylor)
The Rebus Community is currently supporting a project to develop OERs for College and Career Success, particularly for a typical first-year 3 unit course. Three texts are available as part of this project:

Blueprint for Success in College and Career: A free, Open Educational Resource, Blueprint for Success in College and Career is a students’ guide for classroom and career success. This text, designed to show how to be successful in college and in career preparation focuses on study skills, time management, career exploration, health, and financial literacy.
Blueprint for Success in College: Indispensable Study Skills and Time Management Strategies: This text, designed to show how to be successful in college focuses on study skills and time management.
Blueprint for Success in Career Decision Making: A college students’ guide for career success, this free Open Educational Resource text focuses on major identification and career exploration.

The texts are authored by Dave Dillon, a tenured Professor and counseling faculty at Grossmont College, and are currently undergoing peer review. We expect review to complete by the end of the year, but Amy, you are welcome to peruse through the books to see if any will be appropriate for your Learning Strategies course!

For my sabbatical project this semester, I have been working on curating, co-authoring, and editing a few OER for the College Success genre. Links to drafts are below (in Apurva’s e-mail). They are designed for courses Grossmont College offers: Study Skills and Time Management (one unit), Career Decision Making (one unit), and College and Career Success (three units, CSU GE Area E). Drafts have just been completed and they have been sent out for peer review and an accessibility review, with the goal of another round of editing in late December and final products ready for the Spring semester. It has been a tremendous journey and learning opportunity and I am deeply grateful for the expertise, kindness, and passion from the folks on this listserv and in the Open community.

A few notes and thanks I would like to add if you will indulge me:
I “remixed” four previously existing OER and changed the license from my own previous work to CC BY to create the three new OER.  I’m including the four OER here because I think they are all great on their own:

In addition to two of the texts Amy Hofer included in this thread:
A Different Road To College: A Guide For Transitioning To College For Non-traditional Students by AliseLamoreaux
How to Learn Like a Pro! by Phyllis Nissila
I also remixed content from Lumen Learning’s College Success:
https://courses.lumenlearning.com/collegesuccess-lumen/
and from Foundations of Academic Success: Words of Wisdom:
https://textbooks.opensuny.org/foundations-of-academic-success/

Critical Thinking

We are looking for OER materials for a class in Critical Thinking.  All material formats would be useful, but it would be especially nice to find some OER videos to accompany the course.
One of our Philosophy faculty here at Lansing Community College, Dr. Matthew Van Cleave,  created an OER on Intro to Logic and Critical Thinking. He just recently revised it. It's just plain text though and doesn't contain videos but still might be useful for you.

Early Childhood Education

As a product of a robust discussion at the incredibly motivating OER Summit Friday I have created a Canvas shell to act as a repository of OER information in the Child Development/Early Childhood Education field. As those in this field have discovered there exists no already assembled OER products and as such we have begun some dialogues to leverage our efforts, especially with the ZTC degree grant.  One step is a Canvas shell which enable us to at least begin to gather information pertaining to these courses.  At our college alone we have 32 different courses in ECE with NO OER books already available.  Please share the sign up link with your ECE/CHDEV faculty. Feel free to contact me or Kendra Mull (Kendra.mull@reedleycollege.edu) with any questions.

Here is a response from Jennifer Paris.

In addition, you might consider acquiring access to Databrary.  There is a tremendous array of video research/documentation related to developmental processes.  Because it is protected data, you must be authorized by your institution to access it and careful about how you use it, but it is an excellent resource.   

Hi, I have a faculty member who is looking for OER for two early childhood education classes related to teaching literacy.

She has found Schneider's text The Inside, Outside, and Upside Downs of Children's Literature: From Poets and Pop-ups to Princesses and Porridge, and will likely use that for Teaching Children's Literature, but is open to additional suggestions.

She is particularly looking for something for the course Teaching Language Arts to the Young Child. She's already looked in the the early childhood ed category in Merlot, OpenSUNY, and Project Guttenberg and found possible resources, so at this point I think we are trying to determine if anyone is using something different that is open but housed locally and not already available through the typical OER repositories. Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!

It wouldn't be a standalone text, but there is a chapter on Language Literacy in the Introduction Curriculum OER textbook that myself and a colleague wrote that can be accessed at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/introduction-to-curriculum-oer-group

There are also a few resources in a general ECE OER/ZTC collaboration Google Group in the Language and Literacy thread at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/early-childhood-education-oer-collaboration/eGC2957fEwQ  (not all are openly licensed as zero textbook cost materials can be included).

I have some instructors looking for an OER textbook for an Introduction to Early Childhood Education class.

There is a great one from College of the Canyons.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/11bl-KEpESRzXiNlxKTsRDJjKPhavp-gZ/view  
https://www.canyons.edu/ 

We have imported the College of the Canyons ECE books into our SocialSciences library (thanks Jennifer Paris):
https://socialsci.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Early_Childhood_Education
and the Spanish translations can be found here (still being imported):
https://espanol.libretexts.org/Ciencias_Sociales/Educacion_de_la_Primera_Infancia
As all OER should be, our hosted content is fully remixable and editable. Let me know if you would like to know more information.

While we have five (and soon to be six)  OER ECE books, the one that will best match what you are likely looking for is still in the works. It is expected to be released in the fall. They may be able to find some resources to use to replace a textbook in the Early Childhood Education OER/ZTC Collaboration Google Group.
Here is a summary of work (mostly from the California Community College system) in Early Childhood Education, as well.

I have a faculty member looking for textbooks to use in our early childhood education courses.

Here are resources I've come across over the years.
Most of these were found pre-pandemic (before 2020), so I'm not sure how current they may still be,
but I'm hoping you can find some helpful resources or at least a few leads:

Child, Family, and Community, Version 1.0 can be accessed in Word and PDF in the Welcome Message of the Google Group for the book
The Child Growth and Development OER textbook that College of the Canyons has been working on for 18 months
is now fully complete and ready to be shared. It doesn’t yet have a permanent URL on the College of the Canyons website,
but can be accessed using the links below.

The Word version of the book (to be downloaded for easy editing)
The PDF version of the book
A Google Group with the hopes that instructors will be willing to share resources (ideally with an open license)
they use to teach the course with the book

CSU Channel Islands uses ALL OER for its Child Development program. Maybe contact the coordinator or program chair.
OER for Child Dev on the cool4ed.org site
There is an ECE OER/ZTC google group which we have been using as a content repository for a wide variety of ECE courses (over 30)!

We have spent a bit of time harvesting and curating many ECE texts within the ECE bookshelf on the LibreTexts Social Sci library:

https://socialsci.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Early_Childhood_Education

However, some content can also be found in the Education bookshelf:

https://socialsci.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Education_and_Professional_Development

As with all the OER on our libraries, they can be easily edited, customized, and remixed. Please let me know if you need any more information.

There are a lot of great open resources for ECE out there.
You can find available titles within the "Early childhood care and education" subject on the Pressbooks Directory.
Most of these titles are openly licensed and available to be adapted within a Pressbooks network or on another platform.

I am looking for OER for the following courses in Child Development/Early Childhood Education:
CDEC
TECA
EDUC

Here are some great resources to check out for ECE OER
Summary of Open Educational Resources in Early Childhood Education
Open Educational Resources and CDEV/ECE (Child Development and Early Childhood Education) - ASCCC Open Educational Resources Initiative (asccc-oeri.org)
Early Childhood Education - Social Sci LibreTexts
Education & Professional Development - Social Sci LibreTexts
There are also quite a few canvas shells shared on the commons if you are a canvas school
which might have some additional ZTC resources you can use.

Infant and Child Development: From Conception Through Late Childhood by Marie Parnes PhD and Maria Pagano PhD

I teach several Early Childhood courses at the community college level and am helping our team transition fully to OER.
I currently use the College of the Canyons OER texts for most of my courses (thank you, Jennifer and team!),
but I’m lacking resources in two areas:
A strong Field Placement/Practicum resource
A resource for my Program Administration course (specific to providers who want to run child development programs, typically center-based)

It could use an update, but this document lists some OER and library-licensed ebooks for an early childhood administration & advocacy course
at my institution. It's a list I created upon request of the instructor. Perhaps some of the listed resources will be helpful for you!

You may be able to adopt/adapt the Human Services Practicum textbook and ancillaries recently soft-launched in Oregon. Relevant links are on this page:
https://openoregon.org/open-curriculum-projects-soft-launch/ .
 

Instructional Design

Looking for OER materials or a book for an instructional design foundations course 
For a very traditional approach, you might look at http://www.ocw.usu.edu/Other_Educational_Resources/intro-to-instructional-design/index.html . Some related information is available in the online open book Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching, and Technology available at http://epltt.coe.uga.edu/index.php?title=Main_Page .

Introduction to Education

I have a faculty member looking for OER for a course titled "Introduction to Education". The course description is:
Provides an introduction to teaching as a profession in the American education system.
Offers a variety of perspectives on education including historical, philosophical, social, legal, and ethical issues in a diverse society.
Includes organizational structure and school governance.

Here is a thread in that lists OER that I (and colleagues in Early Childhood Education) have come across for Education courses: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/early-childhood-education-oer-collaboration/APeYa-XjYxU

SUNY Oneonta created a Foundations of Education book meant for our first year students.
This is an introductory course meant for all of our elementary and adolescent future teachers, meant to give a broad overview of topics that they will get further instruction in as they progress through the program.
https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-oneonta-education106/
This is the pilot version of the book that we used in the fall and spring semester, and we are currently making revisions to be used next fall.   

Netiquette

Our e-Learning department is looking for an OER book on Netiquette.  Does anybody know of one?

I don't know of a whole book, but I'm wondering what they might want it for. I'm also wondering if they could use pieces of a Business Communications book, and do an OER-Enabled assessment around converting it to be all about Netiquette.
I've never really considered that the topic needs a whole book. Here are some sample pages that I've used/seen in the past:
https://courses.lumenlearning.com/ivytech-engl111/chapter/netiquette/
https://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewPortfolio.htm?id=998100&hitlist=category%3D2730%26
http://www.gcu.ac.uk/library/smile/communication/netiquette/

Open Education

The Michigan Academic Library Association OER interest group is thinking of getting together a cohort of librarians to do a more formal training/certification program.  We're considering the CC Librarian Certificate.  Does anyone know if the EdX Introduction to Open Education course from UT-Arlington is going to be offered again?  Other suggestions?

I teach an Introduction to Open Education every other year in Brigham Young University's graduate program in Instructional Psychology and Technology. Though this is a face to face class, you can see the course design, readings, and activities from the most recent offering at http://openeducation.us/2016/ . All course content created by me is licensed CC BY and I hope you'll find some of it interesting enough to reuse. It won't be long until I'll be updating it for the fall 2018 offering...
As was already mentioned, the content for the edX course George and I offered is all available from http://linkresearchlab.org/openedmooc/ .
I would also highly recommend the CC Certificate. I've been deeply involved in the design of the program and will be teaching the first two sections next year. I know I'm biased, but it's going to be terrific. =)
You might want to check in with SPARC. I know that they are piloting an OER Leadership training for librarians.
Also, this isn't about general OER, but you're welcome to anything from my most recent offering on completing IP reviews for open courses. It's mostly meant as a training for the technical effort of reviewing courses before publicly releasing them. https://canvas.instructure.com/courses/1208502/modules

There's a terrific open course by the Scotland OEPS/Open University UK team called "Becoming an Open Educator" it's self-directed but you could design your own community of practice cohort. It's a great introduction for those that are new to OER and OEP (Open Educational Practices). The Introduction to Open Education edX course was a bit of a disappointment in terms of content and learning (in my opinion). It wasn't well facilitated and the community, in terms of discussion within and outside of the course, was not very engaged.  CC is still fine tuning their training. We here in Ontario are keeping an eye on the opportunities with that and would be glad to collaborate with anything in the region that gets underway!
http://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/course/view.php?id=2274

Special Education

Our education faculty is looking for some specific resources.  We’ve searched all the major OER search engines but are coming up short.  Do any of you know of course materials (preferably textbooks) for a special education course?  We are also looking for an Introduction to Education text as well.
Thanks for whatever help you can give!

We are also on a lookout for Intro to Education open textbooks! I have come across The Teaching Channel that has videos under CC BY-NC-SA. And this Teaching in a Digital Age open textbook.

An instructor at our college is using The First Year by Kristi Johnson Smith (from Learn NC). http://www.learnnc.org/lp/editions/firstyear/cover

Study Skills

One of my Learning Center faculty is working on converting his Study Skills course to OER, and is creating a remix of a variety of elements. He’s wanting to incorporate pieces from a variety of sources on the following topics:
How students should pursue communication with instructors–especially via email
Self-discovery, how the brain processes information
Real-world communication and interaction with colleagues
Growth mindset (we have Carol Dweck’s works via library subscription, but looking for others)
Time management
Active listening, note taking, reading/studying textbooks
Test success
How to create an environment that is conducive to good study
Learning styles, Garner’s multiple intelligences, personality types
Initially, I worked with some of our Counseling staff, and they had some recommendations, mostly from the following resources:
LibreTexts: Research and Info Literacy Bookshelf
LibreTexts: Counseling and Guidance Bookshelf
While we’ve been able to get some pieces together, but it’s somewhat hodge-podge.
The ask: Do any of you out there have ‘study skills’-type courses (perhaps through counseling, the learning center, or similar arenas) that are using a remix or textbook that you could recommend?

Here are some resources to peruse, Sarah:
https://guides.skylinecollege.edu/oersbysubject/counseling

OpenStax College Success (book) may have some content that is in scope:
https://openstax.org/details/books/college-success

Pedegogy

I'm looking for sample, very short, summaries of open pedagogy assignments to share via a website for people new to the concept. 
I'm defining open pedagogy as any assignment that takes advantage of the 5Rs to ask students to add to the collection of resources that support future classes and learning. I don't need fully fleshed out lessons with rubrics and content, I just want short summary ideas so that others might be able to adapt them.
Example summaries might be:
Students in my class write exam questions.
or...
In preparation for exams, I ask students to write study guides and hints that can be reused by other students. I publish the best ones via my course website.
My goal is to build a collection of short ideas for people who want to try open pedagogy, but who may want more specific ideas to build off of.
Please feel free to respond to me off list. I'll share the collection with the whole list as soon as I have a good collection of ideas.

We have a landscape design instructor who has her students go out and identify plants. She has them take pictures of the plants that she then uses as examples for other classes or for assignments asking "identify this plant." 
I realize this doesn't necessarily translate to more traditional courses, but I thought it was a neat idea and great example of open pedagogy.

We started this doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TDf9Uem4SID0anlUQPxWdwCh3SkvQnEpvQu_bRGRUIU/edit  at BCcampus a couple of years ago and it has 33 examples in it. 

I've compiled some student examples here: http://tinyurl.com/OpenTacomaCC

Here's my open assignment:  Students are encouraged to add to and further develop the course's "learning guides."  Currently, I haven't made the learning guides "open" but plan to in the future.  The assignment though is structured in a way that aligns with open pedagogies: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iTKAlnvmQtGa33Tn3kYMs0oPq6tYXLR9p1o5rnoJj2I/edit?usp=sharing

Does anyone know of an Open Pedagogy repository/collection of syllabi or lessons?
There is lots of discussions going on about Open Pedagogy and I am seeking some examples of what people have done to demonstrate Open Pedagogy.  Especially interested if you have examples of it being tied into an existing learning theory like, constructivism (open constructivism) behaviorism (open behaviorism) etc.
A couple of open pedagogy resources in case you haven’t seen them:
1. There is a great chapter on Open Pedagogy with 4 examples of open pedagogy assignments in the recently released:
Open: The Philosophy and Practices that are Revolutionizing Education and Science   –   Rajiv S. Jhangiani and Robert Biswas-Diener editors.
PDF download: From OER to Open Pedagogy: Harnessing the Power of Open (Robin DeRosa and Scott Robison
2.The YearofOpen.org website is dedicating April to Open Pedagogy.  You can find interviews and some other great resources including a 90 minute recorded hangout with some of the thought leaders in open practice and pedagogy.
https://www.yearofopen.org/april-open-perspective-what-is-open-pedagogy/
3. CCCOER is having an online discussion on Wed, April 26, on open pedagogy specifically using the Chapter by Robin DeRosa and Scott Robison as a frame for the discussion.
https://www.cccoer.org/2017/04/18/april-26-cccoer-advisory-on-open-pedagogy/

There is also this page which is a list of examples of open pedagogy, including links to the work.  http://openedgroup.org/openpedagogy

There's also a curated list of posts on open pedagogy by Bali Maha:
http://blog.mahabali.me/blog/whyopen/curation-of-posts-on-open-pedagogy-yearofopen/
Also a Google document on Tweets and comments re: open pedagogy:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/10V8VX53Lwjs4snnyVMGrYeZPA_vooHT2lxIvWcMbbMk/edit#heading=h.rt7udugju50f

There is a list of resources on the Year of Open, What is Open Pedagogy page (at the bottom).  I will be glad to add additional resources ....... 
https://www.yearofopen.org/april-open-perspective-what-is-open-pedagogy/

Here's a link to the Common Cartridge export of my CC-BY Educational Technology course.  It has a unit on learning theories:  https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByMeCxf_whVRc3B3RWdjbHIyS1E  

"I am teaching an assessment course in Education, which is new to me.  
It does not have a textbook, so I am looking for resources to use with the students- content is on validity and reliability, formative, and summative assessment,
making assessments using multiple choice questions, making rubrics and checklists etc.  
Would there be something available in the open resources that might be helpful?"

I have not dove into this resource but I'm sure there is some helpful information
Foundations of Education and Instructional Assessment (Kidd et al.) - Social Sci LibreTexts

FYI: We just moved the Kidd et al.'s questions into H5P format and available on the LibreStudio (studio.libretexts.org).

The cases in the book Open Pedagogy Approaches cover assessment of open pedagogy projects: https://milnepublishing.geneseo.edu/openpedagogyapproaches/

Two books I'm aware of that may be directly relevant are this upper level education text on Curriculum,
Instruction, and Assessment from Kansas State:
https://kstatelibraries.pressbooks.pub/EDCI702/  and On Assessment, which was created by the first cohort of students enrolled in Special Topics in Assessment,
"a seven-week, fully online, (mostly) asynchronous, elective course in the Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (TLHE) certificate program at
Centennial College in Toronto": https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/tlhe720assessment/.
Rajiv Jhangiani wrote about his experience collaborating with students to develop assessments for an open textbook:
https://thatpsychprof.com/why-have-students-answer-questions-when-they-can-write-them/ .
There are some other good examples in the Open Pedagogy Notebook: http://openpedagogy.org/examples/ .

They might also find some interesting reflections in the Open Faculty and Open Learner patchbooks:
https://openfacultypatchbook.org/ + https://openlearnerpatchbook.org/
 that Terry Greene assembled.

Study Skills

I am on the hunt for OER material around Study Skills for our Learning Strategies counseling course. Although specifically looking for study skills I will gladly accept any other suggested resources for a learning strategies course.

While not an OER, the book "Make it Stick" is an excellent survey of the science behind effective learning strategies.

I keep seeing references to this book, College Success: https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/BookDetail.aspx?bookId=9   but can't vouch for it personally.  

Our College Success courses use the book just sent out from the Open Textbook Network https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/BookDetail.aspx?bookId=9

I'm working on something similar and have to agree- Make it Stick! by Brown, Roediger and McDaniel is a great resource. For students, the last chapter is full of strategies for implementing the strategies discussed. Maybe distill it into an inforgraphic? 
Also check out Retrieval Practice: https://www.retrievalpractice.org/
I'm looking forward to seeing what others share. You are correct Amanda, it's an excellent sign when we can post a request because our colleagues want to explore OER. 
There are two adaptations of College Success from our university on this site - http://openpress.usask.ca/

I’m both a librarian, the coordinator of our college success course, and the chair of our OER task force.

I use this book, too: https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/BookDetail.aspx?bookId=9   and really like it.

However, one half of our course is focused on health and wellness. While many of the college success and study skills books have a little on that topic, if there are whole entire OER books you can recommend that cover health and wellness all by itself I’d like to know about those titles.

Of course, please keep sharing additional college success/study skills OER books.

There’s a great Coursera course by UC San Diego on “Learning how to Learn” - https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn/home/

Not openly licensed AFAIK, but may be of help. It covers some great topics on hacking your own capacity to learn even intimidating and complex topics.

The California Community College Online Education Initiative created some CC BY Online Readiness Modules that are not only very good and address varying learning preferences, but they are also 508-compliant.  The URL to take a look at them is: http://apps.3cmediasolutions.org/oei/

Teaching Professions

I’m looking for resources for an Intro to Teaching Professions class geared towards future Texas educators.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This Foundations of Education book was created at SUNY Oneonta and piloted this semester. While we expect to do extensive revisions based on feedback from the pilot instructors, but you are welcome to this draft version. It was made for the first class in our Education program as an introduction to teaching.
https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-oneonta-education106/

Does anyone know of OER on the subject of teaching as a career?  
I'm trying to support a very OER-positive colleague in our teacher ed department, but I can't figure out a search which works:
"teaching" and "teacher" are used too much in many OER which are far from what I want;
"career" not quite as much, but also not great.

Technology

Does anyone know of any good OER resources that related to technology integration in the K-12 classroom
 (21st century classroom).  This is for a class being taught to pre-service teachers/education majors at a community college on things to know about integrating technology into the classroom.  
Content includes Being a 21st Century Teacher, Transforming Learning, Digital Citizenship, Social Media in the Classroom, ISTE standards, Developing Curriculum with Technology,
Reliability/Validity/Info Literacy, etc. 

Try https://tech.ed.gov/open/   

 I would like to build a list of open resources (textbooks, supplementals, apps) related to Educational Technology.    (I have Dr. Wiley’s “PM 4 ID” on the list).

I’m looking for an OER for preservice teachers for a class  - Introduction to Technology for Teachers.
Currently we are using a print book – Integrating Educational Technology into Teaching by Roblyer and Hughes. In some sections we are using Teaching in a Digital Age by Bates, but this text does not seem a good fit for my community college students.

A couple of years ago I created a community-college Educational Technology course and released it under CC.  
It was designed as a faculty learning community with learning activities largely directed by individual students' interests. For example, students were given the task of exploring the contributions of a leader in the field and reporting back to the cohort.  Or, using a free online tool to create classroom materials, and reviewing it for suitability and ease of use.  The course makes extensive use of discussion boards and comprehensive rubrics.  The midterm and final exams are open-ended and ask, "What have you learned and how will this impact your career as a teacher?"
The course was reviewed by Quality Matters and received a score of 96/99.  Links to the Blackboard Learn course archive and Common Cartridge export are below.  Note that materials linked from the course may not be OER.

Tutoring

My Learning Center staff are fully engaged in converting their courses to OER/ZTC, with the tutoring practicum course being the next one on the list. I’m attaching the course outline of record to give folks an idea of what is taught in this course.
In doing a browse through LibreTexts Education and Professional Development library, Pressbooks and a few other spots, nothing jumped out at me as fitting with this course. But maybe I missed something? Are there suggestions out there?

Would this one work for you?
