Open Educational Resources!

Open Educational Resources are the resources that are available to anyone at little or no cost that can be used for learning and teaching.

The Exploration Phase:

Source #1-100th Day of School Activities 100th Day of School Activities

 This source is useful because the activity itself is awesome. It activates higher order thinking skills and problem solving. As a teacher I would use these helpful ideas on the 100th day of school.

Source#2-100's Day 100's Day

 Using this the teacher could get an idea of what the activity might look like. Which is really useful if you know what you want to do and just need an idea. As a teacher I would use this as a tool to help get ideas for my class.

Source#3-2D Shapes 2D Shapes

 This is useful for the students that are learning shapes. As a teacher I would use this to get ideas to teach my students.
