District Community Builders of #GoOpenNC

I see District Specialists as one of the Leaders in a district roll out of OER.  Imagine if all District Specialists encouraged their teachers to use, upload, and rate???

I think districts could create groups based on content areas where teachers can share - thats a great opportunity to offer that you identified.  This would help teachers to see what others are doing to achieve success.  Specialists can highlight certain lessons or resources that are recommended from their perspective.

Great way to connect and share resources.

I see a state wide TF group that we could all share our PD resources on state - wide programs. 

The ability to track who is using the platform and how, is really helpful for ITFs. It allows for ITFs to be able to see who might be struggling with the platform and be able to follow up with those teachers. 

Our group discussed the importance of having a state-wide platform for ITF's to communicate and collaborate and share resources so that we don't waste time recreating resources that have already been created elsewhere.

Strength: Ability to sort throught vast amounts of information and get it to the user as needed.  Opportunity to Offer: Create groups specific to our district and the needs of the subject areas.

Need: Time sensitivty and buy-in for teachers        Opporotunity to take from: Standards related content

A great way for ITF's to share resources in one district to other districts. 

I agree. ITF's can also encourage sharing within their districts. Even though the defined role of ITF's differ between and within counties, a gathering "place" for them and resources would ultimately better serve students.

Since the ITFs are looking for a way to get more information on what teachers are using, #GoOpenNC's ability to track what teacher use, rate, like, submit ,etc. will be beneficial to use.

Oppurtunity to offer--put google drive resources into GoOpenNC, ITF remix with technology

Oppurtunity to Take from- feedback and quality, beginning teacher resouces

Agree! Great idea to add a tech component as a remix.

The ITFs could offer the platform a support piece within the lessons that are already there.  They could review lessons that could benefit from more technology and remix the lessons to have this component added in. Also, since they already have resources they have created in Google, they could move those over to the platform for their teachers and others to access.

The ITS could create a group for their teachers so they could see the type of resources they are using.  Based upon this data, they could differentiate their trainings to better meet teacher needs. Also, since there are varying degrees of comfort with technology, they could also create PDs that supported teachers just learning how to use find and use the resources, while other teachers learned how to remix the lessons for differentiation.
