[Oer-community] Closing

[Michèle Drechsler]

Dear Susan

I was also more a reader than a writer in the mails. I want to send you my
work about OER in France in a rural department of France. I developped this
project with primary schools teacher.  I translated it in english. That is
my contribution.

Thanks to Atabasca University of Canada for their contribution to this
global effort. Thanks to all for all the activities on line.

Kind regards

Inspectrice de l'éducation Nationale
Conseillère TICE premier degré
