Hi Everyone, Warrington School in Otago, New Zealand achieves a historic accolade! We are proud to acknowledge their achievements as a featured school on our NZ OER Commons portal!
http://wikieducator.org/New_Zealand_Schools_OER_Portal Warrington primary school is the first school in New Zealand to implement a portal page on WikiEducator under Aotearoa's Open Education Resource (OER) commons. See: http://wikieducator.org/Warrington_School The school's "Open Education Initiative" aims to empower their community of parents, teachers and pupils through open education. The OER Foundation, an independent non-profit based at Otago Polytechnic, has announced a free hosting service for all New Zealand schools to profile their work in OER on WikiEducator and will provide free training for every teacher in New Zealand in learning how to use a wiki under the earning4Content project - the world's largest attempt to develop wiki skills for education. Kudos to Nathan Parker and the dedicated OER team at Warrington School! We look forward to other countries promoting their own national OER initiatives in the school sector. If you're looking for help and assistance -- be sure to get in touch with the OER Foundation.
