Quote from Jeff Mao at the Maine DOE, who worked on developing OER for the state: "What we need are better platforms that allow for ease of iteration of content in order to provide personalization and customization for individual learners. We need better platforms that leverage data to help connect learners to the right content. What the publishing industry needs to do is to help all of us become better publishers. That's a service I think people would buy." See the end of the article for rubrics to analyze OER for use in implementing CCSS.

In 2012, people got excited about "open educational resources" (OER) because they seemed like a cheap way for schools to get good teaching materials. But there was a problem: these resources were digital, so not all students had the right technology to use them. Even though some places, like Maine, tried giving every student a laptop, it was still hard to keep using OER in the long run. They needed to figure out how to pay for things like training teachers and making sure the materials were good. So, while OER sounded great, making them work in real schools was a lot harder than people thought.

In industries where good talent can be hard to find, companies are using algorithms to scour the Web for recruits, and in the process, they are challenging some traditional notions of hiring.

"It's not about what you've studied. It's about what you've shipped." Searching for new tech employees via their online presence. This could be a great article for classroom debate, writing...what other jobs could be filled with algorithms? When should you (as a student) start building an online presence? Would your current online presence help or hinder you getting a job?
