College Open Textbooks - College Open Textbooks ISSUU Présentations en ligne PowToon O'Reilly Open Books Project O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years. The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors. Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered. But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. We're happy to have partnered with two innovative nonprofits, Creative Commons and the Internet Archive, to solve the licensing and digitizing challenges involved in bringing Open Books to readers. While the books listed here use various open licenses, since 2003 we've focused on using the licenses created by Creative Commons. Through its Open Library project, the Internet Archive is scanning and hosting PDF versions of our open books. Donate to Creative Commons and the Internet Archive:

Open Source Textbooks - IAE-Pedia Introduction We are all used to the idea of free public lending libraries. Benjamin Franklin helped to get this idea started in the United States well over 200 years ago. Moreover, the idea of free public schools for all is well accepted. Thus, it is not too great a leap to have a vision of education and educational materials being made available free to people of all ages throughout the world. Of course, we have a very long way to go in achieving such a vision. The Internet and rapidly improving telecommunications access and facilities throughout the world have brought a new dimension to the idea of universal, free education. Of course, we have to think more carefully about the meaning of "free." In addition, it costs to access the Internet. Finally, there is the cost of the devices people use to access the Internet.

#LaunchpadEDU - Playful Resources For Your Classroom We use Toontastic to improve students’ reading comprehension by creating animated summaries of the stories they read. It helps them retell, paraphrase, and sequence key events while considering how a character’s point of view shapes narrative. They have a great time and take a lot of pride in seeing their drawings and voices come to life onscreen. To start the activity, we choose a familiar book as a class before dividing up into groups of two or three students. Next, each group chooses a character to narrate their summary and recreate each event from that character’s perspective. After completing their summaries, each group presents its cartoon to the class. Animating story summaries with Toontastic is fun and engaging for students, but it also helps them connect with literature beyond traditional book reports.
