Challenges & Difficulties in Search
Public Domain Content: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlscotland/3011974213/
A lack of consistent metadata makes it difficult to always find resources
Various repositories use different APIs
broken links
lack of clear licensing information, difficult to determine if something is OER or not

where to start
let’s get back to the idea of education being an
organic environment.
our role to cultivate an environment for growth and
improvement and to personalize teaching and
learning.
“...life is not linear; it’s organic. We create our lives symbiotically as we explore our talents in relation to the circumstances they help to create for us.” !- Sir Ken Robinson (TED 2006)

“...it’s not about scaling a new solution; it’s about creating a movement in education in which people develop their own solutions, but with external support based on personalized curriculum.” - Sir Ken Robinson
