Sifting through the OER commons made me realize just how much work educators do outside the classroom to enrich others teaching in the same field. I never knew just how much was out there, free to use and at my disposal. As an educator, I will actively use, and contribute, to the body of work on the OER commons so that I will be able to focus more time and energy on actually teaching my class instead of collecting and organizing materials. OER commons is such a great example of what can happen when individuals collaborate to build a better world for young people and for themselves.
