Leigh Blackall has a new blog post on “myths” surrounding open and online education as well as social media. The post addresses a wide range of topics, including disillusionment over state of open education and OER. Blackall struggles with answering the question of teacher engagement. From the blog post:
What is it REALLY that is causing the teacher disengagement from something so apparently important to the meaning of literacy, teaching and access to learning? Why does it seem that the world’s greatest encyclopedia, the most phenomenal video library and the most in depth access to first hand experience is made up by everyone except those wrapped up in the education system?
