First Digital Text Review: CK-12 Sustainable Energy – Without the Hot Air

My first Digital Text Review will be CK-12 Sustainable Energy – Without the Hot Air. This resource comes from the CK-12 Foundation.

The CK-12 Foundation addresses the growing costs of textbooks and the closed, outdated medium in which they are available. Focusing specifically on textbooks for U.S. K-12 schools, the nonprofit works with states and institutions to build web-based, collaborative “flexbooks” that are free to use and adapt in multiple formats like PDF, iPad and Kindle. Over 90 textbooks are available for reuse under the CC BY-NC-SA license. The CK-12 Foundation is also a major contributor to the California Free Digital Textbooks Initiative, a CA initiative that aligns open textbooks to state standards (S. Banister, 2013).

Stay tuned for the REVIEW!

Welcome!

So this is my Science Education Digital Content Blog. Goal... learn more about digital resources to support middle childhood and AYA science teaching. Each month, I will review one to three new resources. We will rate the resources using a 5 star system. My personal goal is to find good materials that support inquiry-based and contextualized teaching and learning. Ready, Set, GO!
