Open educational ressources provide free educational materials that are licensed in a way that allows the public to reuse, revise and redistribute. There are already so many barriers to education that platforms such as OER are super important. Accessing free educational ressources, editing them and then sharing them is a way to make education more accessible and I enjoyed learning about OER. I found it interesting to learn about this and to learn about Creative Commons and what that means. Being able to justly use others’ work is important and it is very cool how people can create content with the intent for others to use and for them to be shared. I was aware of sites such as Teacher Pay Teacher but was unaware that many of the ressources being shared are facing challenges with copyright. I liked the idea of being able to share and find resources and be able to support other teachers along the way but now knowing that come work may infringe on copyright I feel less inclined to use it. This was a really thought-provoking lecture and I am excited to see what else we learn this semester!
