Haywood County Remix #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 | Introduce to district leaders. Show examples and explain timeline. Work with lead teachers to train and use resources. Monthly OER collaboration meeting. | Identify teachers who are using. Share, collaborate and build on momentum. |
Collect/Curate Resources and Collections | Look for "experts" through OER collaboration meetings. Model and share resources at schools, in PLCs, in cross curricular groups. | Gather and vet resources in our HCS extension of the "library". |
Create/Upload Resources | early adopters | Build hub and begin uploading. |
2) Engaging with Platform - The HOW:
