Open Educational Resources

In the  this youtube video about OERs it definitely gave me more insight of what open educational resources were. In the video it explains that open educational resources are resources that use the internet to share and spread educational content such as a textbook library  or a high school tutor for a class. These open educational resources  also allow students to learn their professional skills at their own pace. In addition in the article of 7 things you should know about open educational resources, the part that caught my attention the most was the implications for teaching and learning using open educational resources, one example of this is that all contents of education will be available online for free in the near future.  I will definitely be expanding and implementing open educational resources into my future classroom, while exploring on this topic I realized that books on audio such as from learningally.org  could be one form of OERs, which are especially helpful for students with disabilities. From learningally, in my future classroom i can show the children's parents how to get books on audio when teaching to students with learning disabilities. I know from my experience using these types of OERs have helped improve my learning.
