@verenanz A7: With open learning, it is very adaptable to all students and their needs, which is a huge benefit and positive for open learning! In the world we live in now, there are many tools to adapt learning for most, if not all students who need extra support. #edci339
@verenanz A6: @rbathursthunt and @trev_mackenzie are two educators that I would highly suggest to follow. Their input and advice regarding inquiry-based learning is very educational. They even have a book to read "Inquiry Mindset". #edci339
@verenanz A5: #edci339 I think connecting with local schools and educators is a great way to get resources to use in open learning. Instagram and Twitter are also a nice way to find resources to use using a hashtag or following educators. #OER
@heathergus1@verenanz That's exactly what I was going to mention! Blogging allows us to not only share but also learn from other's viewpoints. #edci339
@verenanz Q3: I would have to say how we can connect with so many people across the world through open learning. We all can access, share and provide feedback on resources to allow everyone no matter where they are have the same learning opportunities. #edci339
@verenanz A2: Openness and sharing allow students to connect and collaborate with their peers in meaningful ways. They can learn with and from one another while supporting each other at the same time which is a great benefit. #edci339
@verenanz A1: Hello, my name is Erin Fletcher and I am currently living in Victoria, BC (born and raised). I am in the fourth year of my BEd at Uvic. I love the concept of learning through one's own inquiries and now from #edci339 online learning!
#EDCI339 Twitter chat is happening on the hour ! (7pm PDT) Come and chat about the potential for online ( eLearning) & Open learning environments in k-12 learning contexts! โSee you soon!!!โ
@verenanz I think that it is a wonderful tool to teach students how to communicate appropriately with one another online. Students can expand their peer's ideas by sharing concepts that might have been missed through positive feedback. #edci339

Had a wonderful afternoon outside on a nature walk that lead students to sketch the blooming flowers in front of the Empress Hotel. #outdooreducation#nature
Today we had students share a rock they painted with their peers. They all set out to the park to find each others artwork in a huge rock hunt. All the rocks pictured were painted from the heart with others in mind. ๐จ
