When: August 3 - 4, 2009 | Mon - Tue | 9:00am - 4:00pm

How can you collaborate with your colleagues, advance your teaching with social learning, and tap into resources that fit your classroom needs? What strategies and tools support finding and sharing materials online that are free, and freely adaptable? How does teacher-led curriculum and sharing using social collaboration advance teaching and student learning, especially in the arts and interdisciplinary learning? How can students express contemporary social justice issues through multi-disciplinary art projects? What are benefits might open-source content offer to arts education?
This two-day OER Summer Teaching Academy is co-presented by the Institute for the Study of Knowledge Management of Education (ISKME), located in Half Moon Bay, CA, and Mills College School of Education, as part of ISKME's Open Educational Resources (OER) in Arts and Social Justice initiative supported by the Ford Foundation.

- Hands-on art and multi-disciplinary approaches to learning using easy-to-procure materials
- Open access to lessons and other materials that support learning, especially in the arts
- Experience with finding and sharing resources with others and using online networking and digital media tools and methods
- Practice in resource search and identification, and an introduction to licensing that makes content legal to adapt and share online
- Continued online support and networking through the OER Commons site and education programs
- Opportunities to connect and collaborate with teachers internationally
