Awesome, you will have to let us know how it goes?

What is your favorite one?

A4. many educators think OER is the same as e-learning and they are not.
-
thanks! I'll check it out since I'll be using Google classroom this year!
-
-
A4.Seeking the right resources might be as time-consuming as creating them -- internet rabbit hole ,
-
-
A3 proper materials, engaging enough for students while remaining supplemental, are standards met etc
-
that may be less to do with OER and not with the way the e-class is conducted

Very true but I get that question a lot form teachers. I think it is happening more bc so many LMS have OERs too
