District Community Builders of #GoOpenNC

Our district is Surry County Schools.

Our district is planning to share #GoOpenNC with our Digital Learning Leaders (one from each school) in August/September during our DLL Model Workshop day, and those DLLs will share the resources with teachers in their school by December.

Yes!  I feel that this is a perfect timeline of events.  There could be training on the PD days on copyright and the OER to get them ready.

Yes and the PLCs could form groups in GoOpenNC to keep the resources in a collection and rate the used resources.

Guilford County Schools

1.  Wait for additional guidance from NC DPI regarding release timeline

2.  Begin to design training for digital learning competencies (online and face-to-face)

3.  Share access with district-level curriculum teams/leaders

Yes, Yes, and . . .  could create micro-credentials on open educational resources.

Thanks--great suggestion!

  • Instructional Coaches and Instructional Technology Facilitators will train the school-based lead teachers by the end of September.
  • By the end of December, each school based-lead teacher (one from each grade level) will have trained their grade levels and uploaded at least one lesson with student work samples- either an original lesson or remixed lesson.

Yes! and they could also evaluate some resources!

yes, and... maybe each grade level(subject area) could use one resource from GoOpenNC and rate it.

Lexington City Schools (Pickett, Charles England, Lexington Middle School)

1) Meet with our Director of Technology and Media

2) OER team will meet to finish our Building Next Steps remix

3) Train other district librarians on OER so they can go back and train their staff.

Yes and....encourage the teachers to start by using one resource and rate it after use.

Randolph County School System

Identifying key groups within the system (Administrators, Media Specialists and Lead Teachers) to be early adopters of OER.

Have administrators start incorporating it into teacher evaluation process - contributing to other districts and the state.

Media Specialists will create a hub to share resources.

Next Steps: 

• Allow time for proper preparation of GoOpenNC before sharing with other professionals - research and practice utilizing the platform during this period.
• At our anuual Back-to-School conference, explain and educate others on GoOpenNC -what, how, why, when
• During PLC meetings, support teachers as they begin using this platform -collecting, curating, and sharing resources.

• What are the 1-3 next steps that your district/school is planning to take to engage with #GoOpenNC? 

We are planning to meet with our District Tech Director and our District Curriculum Director and see what they feel is the best route in taking with this at this time. 

• Probably feel that it's best that elementary level to let the Instructional Coaches & Media Co-ordinator explain to the teachers what this. 
• At Middle School - let the Instructional Tech Facilitator, Instructional Coach & Media Co-ordinator
• At High School - let the Media Co-ordinator

At this time we are not sure of what OER resources we would like to see added as this is such a new option for us.  We would like more input from out teachers at each level.
