Open Source Textbook
Kim, on her Missouri State Teachers Association blog, talked about Motion Mountain: The Free Physics Textbook. This was my comment.
I had heard about a movement to create an open source textbook. An open source textbook is one written by teachers who teach the subject. What a novel idea! Teachers divide up the tasks and all contribute collaboratively. Rather than a large publishing company, who’s bottom line is $, deciding what teachers teach. The teachers decide and write the textbook exactly how they want it. It can also be updated within months instead of in years. Great idea!
