eBooks, etc etc

World eBook Fair ... needed to pay to sign up ... not!!! LibriVox ... needed to update our Windows Media player on the school network for this to work - can see a huge potential here, just need to talk to our IT guys about it. WorldCat ... loved the Cite/Export - Bibliography function, which enabled you to get a Harvard type citation for your bibliography.  Am definitely going to pass this on to our S&E teachers. World Public Library ... were able to open and download books in PDF format.  These could then be projected for use in the classroom. Baen ... Science Fiction books ... were able to download these in RTF format.  Best Places to Get Free Books ...  got us into the Friedbeet website.  Good potential for futher exploration here.  Cliff's Notes ... a great resource for Literature teachers.  And then I discovered myebook.  I have already planned a series of lessons using this website.  It is just what I need to encourage some reluctant Year 7 creative writers. Ya ... and thank you for the lead.
