    I agree; ebooks are definitely the way to go. If you’re interested in educational ebooks, check out http://www.dedicatedteacher.com. They have thousands of teacher resources that can be downloaded easily. I’ve used several workbooks in my classes, and the ebooks are helpful when designing lessons/units, too. Great blog, Darcy!
