I watched the LCC OER training video online yesterday and am feeling extremely overwhelmed with terms like OER, Creative Commons, and Merlot. I consider myself very tech friendly, I even teach students at the jail computers, but I clearly have a lot to learn! I'm also realizing that the term is flying by (isn't it always like that?) and it is now a race against the clock. I began this journey thinking that I would simply create an online GED course. That's right, simply. Ha!
To reduce my increasing anxiety, I am going to learn everything I can about OERs before I tackle the other terms/concepts. I have looked through most of Velda's OER links and am amazed at how much material is out there. I thought it would be difficult to find basic skills resources, but I was happy to see that isn't going to be a problem.
Also, I have started a list of questions to ask Jen. When it is more complete, I'll post it here.
