If you're interested in Open Education and Open Education Resources (OER) then a good resource for news and information is http://openeducationnews.org. The site has a great pulse of all that is Open Education and open source and I've happily referred to their site and posts for such finds as Linux-for-education.org (which is a great resource of open educational resources all based in Moodle).
Recently they posted a quick post about OER and a repository pulled together by BonEducation. The BonEducation site is a great primer for OER sites and destinations across the web. Each resources gets a "summary" and then some information directly from the website. So whether you're looking for lesson plans, college level curriculum, information about copyright or just some ideas about what is available, check it out.
The page is broken down by grade level and the relevant resources available from each. Not an exhaustive list by any means, but like Open Education said: "good reference for people who want a general sense of what is available without being overwhelmed."

On another, slightly celebratory note, we just passed 200 subscribers! So thank you everyone that catches up with GlobalClassroom.us through this blog. Personally I'm always happy to share the good online finds, tips and tricks and GlobalClassroom-happenings. It's interesting to note that we're also running up on 200 posts (which is almost a 1 to 1 growth rate in audience).
Don't forget to leave us some comments!
