I selected a book for American Government. I will be using Flat World Knowledge's American Government and Politics in the Information Age. As I mentioned in a previous post, Flat World Knowledge texts are open source and free for students to read online. They are completely editable and students can select from many formats to have the content printed if they wish. I need to move aggressively on customizing the book - I learned that I'm about 2 weeks late on my fall book order! Why order a book? I'd like to have a few in stock for folks who prefer the traditional page (which, to be honest, includes me when it comes to textbooks).
I also discovered a cool new tool that will make it way easier for me to do course mapping. I am using Workflowy. I'm an outline kind of girl, so this tool just works for me. Here is my Workflowy Course Map for American Government. As with everything - this is a work in progress - I only discovered Workflowy this weekend and already I'm lovin' it.
