Posting the Hyde reading for class on Nov 20 here. No idea why, but the file corrupts when uploaded to the group site.

• Lewis Hyde, Common As Air: Revolution, Art and Ownership (Farrar, Straus, Giroux, 2010), 23-38.

To those of you attending next Monday’s (11/6) “Low Level Superpowers” lab:

If you have a personal laptop, please bring it to use during the lab. The Mac Lab where we meet has 12 computer terminals and we have a few more people than that registered–so bringing a laptop will ensure you have a machine to work on.

Thanks for your help!

During tonight’s Intro to Open Educational Resources lab, our facilitator Jean Amaral (Assistant Professor / Outreach Librarian, BMCC) will be referencing some materials for further reading. I am attaching them here for those of you who are participating, or for anyone else who’s interesting in learning a bit about the fundamentals of incorporating OER in your teaching.
