You also do this!!!! In conjunction with Blackboard, use cK12 to create an amazing space for your kids to learn anywhere, anytime. Yes it takes a lot of time in the beginning but take small steps here and there and once it is built, IT IS REUSABLE!
What is it? CK12.org is an organization founded by former Sun Microsystems. It's mission has been to “reduce the cost of textbook materials for the K-12 market both in the U.S. and worldwide.” They create textbooks in key subject areas for secondary school educators and releasing them under a non-restrictive Creative Commons license that allows everyone and anyone to download them for free and use them digitally, or pay a small fee to get them printed. |
