  1. Which web tool/initiative class did you complete? What made you decide to complete this class?
  2. What features of the web tool are most appealing to students? To educators? To parents?/How is the initiative important to supporting student learning?
  3. One of your co-workers has approached you in the hall for help with a lesson. Write two to three sentences you would use to explain why they should use the INFOhio web tool or initiative to support student learning.

I completed the class on Open Space, an INFOhio tool. I chose this class to better understand how to find, evaluate, and share high-quality instructional materials that align with Ohio's educational standards. This resource enables me to provide engaging, standards-aligned content that supports diverse learning needs.

For students, Open Space offers access to engaging, topic-based resources that cater to different learning styles. Educators benefit from the vetted, standards-aligned materials, collaborative features, and Achieve rubric evaluations, which simplify resource selection and adaptation. Parents appreciate the high-quality, trusted resources available to help reinforce learning at home, ensuring their children are supported by reliable educational content.

The Open Space initiative is crucial in supporting student learning by providing a collaborative space where educators can access and share high-quality, standards-aligned instructional materials. This collaborative environment encourages continuous improvement in teaching practices and broadens access to innovative resources, which enhance learning outcomes.

Open Space on INFOhio is a fantastic resource that offers standards-aligned, educator-reviewed materials you can easily integrate into your lessons. It’s great for finding curated content by subject or topic, and you can even collaborate with other educators to develop new ideas. Using Open Space can save time and enrich your lessons with quality resources tailored to our students' needs.
