<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">North Carolina Teachers and Instructional Support Staff,</span></b></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Have you heard about the NC open educational resources initiative? Open educational resources (<span class="il">OER</span>) are resources for students and teachers that are licensed to permit users to reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute the content. Imagine a space where a community of North Carolina educators can come together to curate, create, and share <span class="il">OER</span>! That’s what GoOpenNC is all about!</span></div>
<div style="color: #222222;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">GoOpenNC is the name of the <span class="il">OER</span> initiative here in North Carolina, and it’s also the name of the platform where NC educators can become part of this <span class="il">OER</span> community of practice as they find, develop, and share instructional materials. The platform will be available for all teachers in late December / early January, but you have an opportunity to join the community now!  </span></div>

The below message is posted to the NCWiseOwl website.

EBSCO databases are returning to operation with some intermittent issues. You may also utilize this alternative link if you find issues with the regular links from this site.Your continued patience is appreciated as work continues to resolve issues.

We will continue to keep you updated both via this blog and on the website. Please pass this along to your users.

NOTE: At the district level we don't have any funds for subs but wanted to let you know about this opportunity just in case you could work it out.

North Carolina Teachers and Instructional Support Staff,

Have you heard about the NC open educational resources initiative? Open educational resources (OER) are resources for students and teachers that are licensed to permit users to reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute the content. Imagine a space where a community of North Carolina educators can come together to curate, create, and share OER! That’s what GoOpenNC is all about!

GoOpenNC is the name of the OER initiative here in North Carolina, and it’s also the name of the platform where NC educators can become part of this OER community of practice as they find, develop, and share instructional materials. The platform will be available for all teachers in late December / early January, but you have an opportunity to join the community now!

Register to attend one of the four face-to-face sessions taking place across the state in October. You are encouraged to partner with others from your district or school to attend as a team.

These sessions are designed for classroom teachers, instructional technology facilitators, school library media coordinators, instructional coaches, and other instructional support staff.

During this session, participants will

Learn about open educational resources & open licensing
Explore and engage with the GoOpenNC platform
Discuss the definition of “quality” & apply knowledge to OER
Develop a plan for sharing and using OER

Space is limited, so be sure to register soon!

Both collections include content that spans all academic subjects and incorporates selections of classic literary works, important historical documents, and general reference works.

The content in both eBook collections is downloadable to a variety of devices. Chapters may be transferred to Kindles, iPads and other e-readers. Users also have the ability to search alongside other EBSCO content, adding magazines, journals and other EBSCO resources to their results.

AP Images

The AP Images Collection is a primary source database with millions of images from 1826 to the present, and more than 3,500 additionalphotographs are added daily. The collection also includes 36,400 audio sound bytes dating from the 1920s, and more than 2,900 multimedia interactives. The multimedia interactives represent a compilation of integrated video, graphics and photos that bring the latest news and educational topics to life.
