Teachers love free stuff, especially when it comes to resources that help with implementing the Common Core. OpenEd--a website offering over a million games, lessons, assessments and courses--is one such resource. 

The site is the only resource completely focused on Common Core, according to EdSurge, and it has raised $2 million to ensure that teachers continue to get their resources for free. OpenEd was founded in 2012 by CEO Adam Blum.
