The OER shares resources from Sussex University's Post-Punk Britain module. Students on the module work together with Technology Enhanced Learning at Sussex to produce their own OERs. We take the punk rock ethic (Do It Yourself, Do It Together, Keep It Simple, Make it Fast) challenge the role and place of history today and to break down the barriers between material and digital histories.
This video shows you how to "hotwire" a digital camera. This video outlines the first step in making our digital camera work in the Bit-zee robot. The required voltage for the camera was determined by adding the1.5 volt AAA batteries (there are three of them) together to get 4.5 volts (because the batteries are wired in series). Since new batteries usually have a voltage that exceeds their marked rating the camera can easily run on the 5 volts that the center terminal of our L298 motor controller provides.

In this video we connect, bend and wire Bit-zee's IR sensor. This sensor will allow Bit-zee to receive commands from a universal remote control. Created by Karl Wendt.
Activities, resources, photos and videos from ISKME's two day professional development teacher training that explores Open Educational Resources (OER) and Maker-Teacher collaborations to facilitate innovation in the classroom. The Makers’ projects are points of inspiration for Teachers while they engage in design-thinking activities to create, remix, and share OER Projects with online collaborative tools.
