Organize your resources. [Aug. 21, 2012, 2:38 p.m.]
This is Part 2 of Teach someone something with open content.
Hint
There is no one right way to keep track of your resources. If you already have a system you're comfortable with for keeping track of something else in your life, like recipes or references, that might be the best way to go. You could keep a simple list of URLs in a document like Google doc or Etherpad, you could use your browser's bookmark manager, or if you have a lot to manage and are already familiar with it you might choose bibliographic software like Zotero.
Exercise
1) Decide how you are going to organize and keep track of your resources.
2) Make sure you know where you found all your content. Make note of things like the website URL and the creator. Also, what open license did it have? When was it created and/or pubilshed?
3) Confirm that you have the right to use all the resources you found. You may discover that you don't have the rights to use every resource you found. They may be under copyright, or they may use a Creative Commons license that doesn't permit the kind of use you want to make. Which resources do not give you the rights you want? You might want to do another search to find appropriately licensed materials to replace those.
4) Consider the places where you found your resources. Did you like anything about some of the websites and/or platforms where the resources were hosted? For example, did the platform make it easier for you to identify the CC or other open license of the resource? You may want to keep a list of the sites you liked for sharing back your resulting work.
