Very interesting stuff - I started by reading the Anderson presentation and I was interested in the different social interactions of OER's, although I was also laughing out loud (Cafe Nero this time) when the slides mentioned some of the tech - Google Wave hahahaha. This was the slide which struck me
The idea that the individual is part of so many wholes whilst still remaining an individual is to me a true marvel of the digital era. We have become ever better connected without losing our sense of self. Indeed we have found greater opportunities to educate and be educated through networks, groups and collectives.
My second choice was to look a the video (always one for the easy option) and I was very pleased to find a TED talk - one of my favourite choices of OER, as they are concise and well explained nuggets. I was nodding along with this one (Its OK - being in London people are used to nutters) as it perfectly described my own view of education and resources. Education IS sharing and holding onto intellectual property is a selfish act. Just be nice, open and share on the biggest scale you can. I have published so many resources to the web and continue to do so and everything I publish is gifted to the world through new media and technology. When I first started teaching I made my resources into a website, now I publish them to a wiki and more and more I move towards videos as a delivery method which also get hosted and distributed to the global audience of YouTube users.
In fact it fits my favourite philosophy of "Just be nice"
