Are you a teacher looking for supplemental resources for a lesson? Are you a curriculum team member looking for more comprehensive instructional materials? Are you an educator looking to help others identify lessons or activities with strong alignment to state standards? You may be starting from a different place or for a different purpose when looking for new resources, but luckily, INFOhio’s web tools have everyone covered when it comes to curriculum and instructional materials!

Information and access to Open Space, powered by INFOhio, has been streamlined on INFOhio's website to make it easier for users to navigate and find the information that is needed.

So you’re comfortable in finding and integrating Open Educational Resources (OER) into your curriculum and want to take the next step? Are you ready to create new resources to share with others? This blog is for you!

Have you ever found something from the internet that could be a perfect resource (image, video, quiz, etc.) for your class, and you spent hours trying to figure out the copyright issues with that resource? You couldn’t find any Terms of Use, and there was no author information, so you didn’t know who to contact to get permission to use it? Wouldn’t it have been nice if that resource somehow said “I’m free to use, no strings attached, you don’t need to ask for my permission because it is already granted”? Open Educational Resources, or OER for short, are an answer to this problem.

Monday Mini Lessons Model Remote Teaching Best Practices

April's Monday Mini Lesson is all about designing learning experiences using tools, resources, and platforms available through INFOhio. To support educators integrating digital content into instruction and remote teaching, INFOhio is featuring a series of videos that showcase best practices for remote teaching using INFOhio's high-quality, digital content. This mini lesson is for all teachers wanting to design, build, or supplement lesson or an entire curriculum at little to no cost and with minimal modifications.

Over 10,000 high-quality open educational resources (OER) have been added to Open Space. Standards-aligned content for mathematics, ELA, science, social studies, and the arts are included. 

In ongoing efforts to foster partnerships and promote equity in Ohio’s PreK-12 schools, INFOhio has launched Open Space. Create your free account now and join Ohio's PreK-12 educators in Open Space.

Thirty years ago, PreK-12 teachers could easily find the majority of their instructional materials in print textbooks. Now many schools are looking for alternatives to traditional print textbooks. Could OER be the best alternative for your school?

Access to quality open education resources (OER) is now easier for Ohio educators and students. In a partnership announced today, INFOhio will provide school districts with access to the Knovation Content Collection, using its full array of digital library applications.

Finding professionally-evaluated, standards-aligned, free online resources just got easier for Ohio teachers. INFOhio is providing all Ohio PreK-12 schools with access to the Knovation Content Collection through INFOhio’s Educator Tools.
