The New Media Consortium (NMC) Summer Conference 2009, Monterey
In a 75 minute Breakout Session on the theme of Best Practices, Amee Godwin and Megan Simmons present on Open Educational Resources, or OER, and science learning.
From the conference site:
"The NMC Summer Conference is a one-of-a-kind event, attracting an audience of highly skilled professionals who are very knowledgeable about and interested in the integration of emerging technologies into teaching, learning, and creative expression."
For ISKME and the OER Commons project, the possibility for real discovery inspires our participatory science pedagogy, within the framework of an online “collaboratory”. Combined with open content, a collaboratory is a flexible platform for shared experimentation. In this interactive session, participants will experience collaborating on issues related to climate change and biology through using open content and open-source tools. We highlight teacher trainings and pedagogical models being developed, for example, in the BioQUEST SCOPE and OER Commons International Teacher Exchange projects.
