Remix ACS - #GoOpenNC Community Building Next Steps
District/School/Network Name
1) Engaging with Resources - The WHAT:
#GoOpenNC has three main opportunities to interact with the resources on the platform.
Level of Engagement | What would be your vision for WHAT your educators would do in the next 6 months? | What would be your vision for WHAT your educators would do in the next 18 months? |
Find/Use Existing Resources | A select group of teachers will explore, rate, and contribute to the OER repository. | Expand the number of teachers/staff engaging with the OER platform. |
Collect/Curate Resources and Collections | Start with a specific unit or even standard to focus on (e.g. Instructional Facilitators could find intervention resources and create collections) | Make a decision about whether to move forward with GoOpenNC for housing everything (and potentially create an ACS Hub), or find a way to incorporating into Canvas or Google Classroom and Team Drive. |
Create/Upload Resources | Select group of teachers, DLTs, IFs and other identified educators to be early adopters. | Strategically expand the group that is creating and uploading content. |
2) Engaging with Platform - The HOW:
#GoOpenNC has three main ways to participate on the platform
#GoOpenNC Initiative | What would be your vision for HOW your educators would participate on the platform in the next 6 months? | What would be your vision for HOW your educators would participate on the platform in the next 18 months? |
Share/Evaluate Resources | Focus on being consumers and evaluators or content. | Being to also be authors, contributors, remixers. |
Participate in Professional Learning locally or statewide | PD on copyright and licensing, what is a high quality resource, the CARE Framework (Contribute, Attribute, Release, Empower), and how well-aligned a resource is to a given standard. | |
Network and Collaborate with Other NC Educators | Participating teachers will join/create groups and hubs. |
3) Engaging the Educators - The WHO:
#GoOpenNC has opportunities for all educators to being engaging. Consider who would be your main early engagers in the next 6 months.
Group description | # of educators | Main purpose (Use, curate collections, evaluate or create) | Support needed |
Teachers of the Year | 35 - one from each school in our district | To create: upload 3 of their most effective lessons into a TOY hub, comment on their peers’ lessons | Training on OER and licensing, structured discussion on high quality materials, scaffolded due dates for uploads |
4) Building the Community - The WHEN
As #GoOpenNC plans to be teacher-facing by August, what would be your plans for engaging your desired educators in doing the WHAT and the HOW?
The Who | The What | The How | The When | The Logistics |
TOYs | Create Resources | Using a Hub | By December | TOYs will be invited to participate, join a group that includes monthly discussion with the upload happening in December |
