If you want to submit a resource to #GoOpenVA, we encourage you to use the Open Author software to do so. Submitting a resource through Open Author is the most helpful way to let others know about a resource you have found useful and it asks you to include details about how to use it in a classroom situation. Please see the Help resources for Open Author.
Occasionally you may need to just add a broad URL. This is not generally helpful to most teachers—they still have to go to the site and look around, or figure out how you thought such a resource might be useful to them. Still if you find a site that might be useful to know about, and which has great free resources, you can use the Submit a Resource option (museums might be an example).
