Tools 4 Tuesday: Free Books!

Meeting a need for reduced cost and increased digital literacy (literally!), here are two options for free books for schools (and parents, students) to consider... 

And remember, FREE IS GOOD (but it may have limitations)...

 

CK-12: customizable, free, curriculum-aligned content for K-12

Mostly STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math), but also includes some SAT prep, history, English composition, even spelling! Review and choose chapters for your own e-Book, which can be downloaded as a PDF, viewed online as HTML with animations and videos, or viewed online as an e-book (with flipping pages).
