This piece is excellent, & links to other excellent pieces- it’s a perfect encapsulation of why #OER are so awesome. It is also why I will be working a ton of Game of Thrones references into my OER presentations from now on. #FreeLikeDragonEggs is absolutely brilliant. https://twitter.com/poritzj/status/1100768831658647552">https://twitter.com/poritzj/s...
