Write a short portfolio post explaining your possible needs for open education resources in your teaching. Do you need something you can adapt? Something you can share by copying? Something free? What sort of content can you see yourself contributing as an open education resource?

As an ESL instructor, having the means to access a plethora of teaching resources is vitally important for me. I am so thrilled to have discovered the existence of open education resources. There are so many potential resources I could use in my teaching, for example, curricula, syllabi, assignments, tests, videos, and course materials. I need something free as the instructors do not get a budget for teaching materials. I also need something that I can just copy or adapt to meet the language proficiency levels and needs of the learners. In terms of the type of content I can contribute as open education resources, I can see myself offering course materials, student worksheets, lecture notes, lesson plans, and interactive learning activities.
