I can't see your email. (I think you probably typed it in. But I don't get to see it.)

But I won't be able to come to the meeting. Would you please send me your materials? Thanks and enjoy the meeting.

You can email me at mathanthologyeditor@gmail.com.<br /><br />The strand my proposed talk would be a part of is titled The Development and Adoption of Open Educational Resources for Teaching and Learning. Open Educational Resources (OER) are about sharing freely. There are two main ways people reserve some rights while still sharing freely, copyleft and creative commons.<br /><br />There are two meanings to the word free here. (Read more about copyleft and meanings of free here: http://www.gnu.org/gnu/thegnuproject.en.html) One is that you don't pay. Students will have to pay for a paper copy, but that will always be very affordable. And online copies are free that way. The other meaning of free is about freedom to make changes. Both meanings are important to me. I hate how much students pay for commercial textbooks. And I am so grateful to be able to use Matt Boelkins' and Dale Hoffman's materials in the way I want to. They each gave me modifiable files. I can mix topics up, rewrite sentences, and leave out exercises. I'm building my own materials from theirs.<br /><br />I think you've helped me clarify for myself how my talks fits the theme. Thanks for your comment and question. I hope to meet you at the meeting. ;^)Sue VanHattumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237941346154683902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303307482158922565.post-68737975330541797072015-09-19T05:34:39.914-07:002015-09-19T05:34:39.914-07:00I want to come to your session!
