Open Educational Resources are all about sharing.

In a brave new world of learning, OER content is made free to use or share, and in some cases, to change and share again, made possible through licensing, so that both teachers and learners can share what they know.

Browse and search OER Commons to find curriculum, and tag, rate, and review it for others.

Use the Tutorials as a guide. Join and contribute to the global Open Education community.

One Million Monkeys Typing is a community story-telling site.

1. Read
Start reading. When you finish a snippet of text, click 'read more'. You will be presented with three unique paths that continue the story. If you like your options, keep reading.

2. Write
If you reach an end, or simply don't like the story's trajectory, graft a new snippet and take the story's direction into your own hands.

3. Publish
Publish so that others may add on to your story. If it gets ranked well and has enough offshoots it stays, if not, watch it wither
and die.
