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The CK-12 Foundation addresses the growing costs of textbooks and the closed, outdated medium in which they are available.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!
