Open educational resources (OER) are free and openly licensed educational materials that can be used for teaching, learning, research, and other purposes.
Open Education “…is the simple and powerful idea that the world’s knowledge is a public good and that technology in general and the Web in particular provide an extraordinary opportunity for everyone to share, use, and reuse knowledge.”
—The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
These open educational resources and collections are intended for use by K-8 educators, parents and the broader community. There is some overlap in the lists of links to collections. The good OERs are well regarded by all reviewers. Deciding what to include is always tough – there are so many great resources out there.
