#GoOpenVA
#GoOpenVA is dedicated to Open Educational Resources (OER), or openly licensed resources (no copyright required) for editing on the go to meet the needs of your students. The curriculum is NOT official VDOE curriculum, but with having the ability to edit, you can manipulate to meet your needs. It's important to understand that this site is just for teachers! It is designed for sharing resources and finding resources in order to support personalized learning for students.
"#GoOpenVA is a collaborative initiative that enables educational entities throughout Virginia to create, share, and access openly-licensed educational resources (OER, also known as open education resources). OER are free digital materials that can be used or modified to adjust to student needs; they are openly-licensed unhampered by many traditional copyright limitations. These materials are housed on a cloud-based system. #GoOpenVA encourages all Virginia educators and learners to create, share, and use digital resources with the end goals of providing equitable access to great learning materials throughout the state, and supporting new approaches to learning and teaching for all Virginians."
Although the platform has thousands of resources, most of them were created for a national audience. The best of #GoOpenVA is yet to come.... When teachers start adding their own creations or recommended resources!
