 Open Educational Resources (OERs) are resources that are shared publicly, typically online, that can be used by educators. OERs can appear in several different formats, such as PowerPoints, worksheets, and quizzes. These resources can be used as they were created, edited, or added to other resources as the user chooses. The link below is an article entitled "Recognizing and Overcoming Obstacles: What it Will Take to Realize the Potential of OER". This article discusses what OERs are and their endless benefits when used within the classroom. OER allows students and teachers to save money on teaching and learning resources, allows immediate access to the material, and allows for differentiation to benefit the students. This article then goes on to discuss the potential reasons why OERs are not used more often including a lack of technological access and concerns about quality.

Some schools require that their teachers keep an updated class page on their website to outline some basic introductory information. I think that this is a great way for students and parents to get to know the teachers and get some information about what their classroom will consist of. On Bond Elementary School's website, most teachers have pages that often include sections entitled "Meet the teacher", "announcements", and "Resources". The "meet the teacher" section typically includes personal information about the teacher such as preferred activities or their academic or professional background. The "announcements" section typically has class updates and a calendar with any events that are coming up.
