2017.11.14 vt.. I'm interested in open education for K-8 - primary / elementary / middle school. So many challenges for k-8, so little time and money. There is a great market for closed educational resources (.pdfs) at sites like TeachersPayTeachers and other commercial sites. However, teachers don't trust the free and open resources on the theory that you get what you pay for.
