16:16:51	 From Jessica Payeur : Ethel-You taught a class I took at PSU!
16:17:20	 From egaides : Yes, so excited to see and hear you! I look forward to next week!
16:17:38	 From Jessica Payeur : :)
16:18:34	 From Susan Ballard : OER means learning opportunities.
16:18:56	 From egaides : Working as a team to provide resources for many!
16:19:15	 From Lisa Petrie : sharing and learning from each other
16:19:15	 From Kim : OER is an exceptional opportunity to support educational equity work by democratizing quality information access
16:19:31	 From Joanna Schimizzi : OER means that resources are intended for collaborative use.
16:19:32	 From Gail March : OER provides opportunities to remix and customize the resources to meet local needs.
16:19:53	 From Jessica Payeur : its kind of like pinterest, but more specifically for resources for teachers to share 
16:31:28	 From Kim : Exploring resources and collaborative opportunities to integrate inquiry into STEM learning experiences
16:31:29	 From egaides : Cross-disciplinary collaboration! We need to do so much more!
16:32:14	 From Susan Ballard : Opportunity to elevate conversations with collegues about collaboration to make STEM learning more relevant
16:32:15	 From Jessica Payeur : librarians helping to facilitate or lead the learning process in STEM classrooms-inquiry, collaboration, interdisciplinary, technology, makerspaces, etc
16:33:11	 From Lisa Petrie : Librarians are instructional leaders, but I often think of myself as "support staff". I am there to help teachers do their jobs better. 
16:35:51	 From Joanna Schimizzi : https://www.oercommons.org/authoring/16131-fractal-cities-then-and-now-version-2
16:38:12	 From Kim : Integration of literacy practices with the inquiry framework; hands-on exploratory activities; connections between abstract content (fractals) and concrete applications (city planning)
16:39:08	 From Kim : And those wonderfully provocative, quality resources!
16:40:20	 From Susan Ballard : While I am familiar with the template, the student engagment piece (having them develop their own questions, etc.) is something that is making the unit more authentic and relevant. 
16:40:20	 From Joanna Schimizzi : Thank Kim - I love the recognition of provoking resources! That’s a big part of creating the interest!
16:40:56	 From Joanna Schimizzi : Thanks Susan - asking students to ask their own questions is something that is really new and challenging in some ways!
16:41:20	 From Kim : I also notice there’s a mix of types of resources - texts, video, applications, websites
16:42:02	 From Jessica Payeur : The rubric is specific.  I like that it is listed what prior knowledge is necessary to do this activity.   lThere are many learning styles considered. 
16:42:36	 From Lisa Petrie : With regard to standards, it seems that "less is more" for this group. I appreciate that they resisted the urge to assess too many standards.
16:45:05	 From Joanna Schimizzi : Yes Lisa! :)
16:54:18	 From Kim : Should we be helping our teachers create their login and profile as well?
16:57:45	 From Lisa Petrie : :-)
16:58:00	 From egaides : From Ethel: Thanks!
16:58:13	 From Kim : Thank you. Looking forward to next week.
16:58:25	 From Gail March : Bye!
16:58:26	 From Amee Godwin : thanks!
16:58:27	 From Lisa Petrie : Thanks, folks! Talk soon. :-)
16:58:27	 From Susan Ballard : Thanks, all!
