Tyson Hallet posted a discussionthoughts on FlexBooks?
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with/insight into FlexBooks, the open-source online textbooks in development by the CK-12 organization. On first looking into it, there seemed to be an over-reliance on wikipedia, but then they do have content-area experts who review chapters/books. Is this a tool I can get out there to teachers or has it yet to prove itself?

Hello there,I'm an American and am about to begin my first year as a librarian at an IB school in London.

Hi everybody,I'm about to begin a new year at a new school and will be working with seconday students for the first time ever (was previously in an elementary school). I'd like to come up with a proposal for a school-wide research process and am really interested in the guided inquiry model.

Mike McQueen said… Greetings Tyson,
I'm Mike McQueen, teacher librarian and founder of http://www.GettingBoysToRead.com. Like many school districts, we are in a financial crises. Our school board recently proposed to eliminate ALL 20+ middle school teacher librarians and also cut all 90+ elementary schools to half time. Since we are the biggest district in all of Colorado, we worry this will cause other districts to follow suit. We launched an online movement and are going to do our best to put up a good fight. If possible, please visit our Facebook page and "Like" us http://www.facebook.com/SupportSchoolLibraries . Adding a positive comment and sharing with your friends would help our morale as well. The board finalizes the budget soon so your timely support would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Mike McQueen
