Local language teachers reflecting on OER in New Zealand

[Wayne Mackintosh]

Hi Everyone,

Great to see a growing list of Kiwi-based blog reflections on the potential of OER being published.  

Pascale Hyboud-Peron, a Learing4Content graduate and administrator of the New Zealand Association of French Teachers (NZAFT) has researched and published a great post on OER. We're chuffed to see this organic growth spreading in the language-teaching space.  Do take a peak:

Viva OER, viva!

New Zealand is establishing firm foundations for growing OER the Kiwi way (albeit in French ;-))! 

Are there other language teachers out there who want to join forces with the French educators?

Well done Pascale!

Cheers
Wayne

Thanks for alerting me to this Wayne.
This is a great blog covering a huge amount of information in regards to the OER way.
Nice links with NZ and French teaching with questions that all educators should be asking.

"the fact that we now have the ability to teach and share beyond our classrooms is moving from “nice to do” to “necessary to do".

Cheers Pascale,

Nathan
