=Welcome to OERCat!=

What is this?
OERCat is an attempt to map OER and other free learning resources to the Texas Essential Knowledge & Skills (TEKS) standards. The goal initially is to just map the middle school level TEKS for grades 6 through 8, but more grade can be added as needed. Ultimately, the entire TEKS from PreK through 12 could be mapped within this wiki.

How do I contribute?

 * Join this wiki.
 * Review the current pages and the templates to understand the format. (An additional page of background information and links to OER repositories and search engines is in draft and will be posted soon)
 * When creating a new page, please use one of the templates to ensure that all pages are consistent.
 * If creating a page that contains the backlinks widget, you will first have to save the page "as is" and then click edit to edit the widget so that it only includes backlinks to that page. A tutorial on this is in development.
 * As you are adding OER content pages, please try to tag those pages with relevant terms that other educators might use in a search. Examples include: STEM, STEAM, reading, literacy, fluency, etc.

=**Tag Cloud**= Use the tag cloud below to locate OER resources related to the included terms. All OER pages will have tags associated with the content. include component="tagCloud"
