Kindles, Nooks, iPads, eReaders, and tablets are the new electronic tools
exploding in usage both inside and outside the

classroom. Some forward thinking schools are already using these devices to
support teaching & learning. This course will provide pragmatic insight in
the use of these

tools; as well as explore Open Source eTextbooks; and,  the concepts &
technologies behind Web 2.0.

collaborative software to create eTextbooks & collaborate with other
educators on the best practices for incorporating these technologies

with their students. Learn how to gain access to unlimited amounts of free
eTextbooks, curriculum material, and Digital Content.
