Soph Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I just finished a one hour webinar with the folks at CK-12. They were very helpful, personable and VERY excited about thier services. They are open to suggestions and want as much input as we (the users) can give. The CK-12 folks are in the process of switching to a new, much better site, thank goodness. Originally I had planned on using their Honors Biology as is for 9th grade, but I am now considering creating my own integrated science book (or books). I will be able to pick and choose chapters from all the science disciplines and spread them out over the next few years. I might even create integrated math books. Right now we are using Singapore's DM, which is integrated Algebra and Geometry, but its getting pricey. I could possibly follow the DM sequencing and create an interactive (videos, links, exercises) Ck-12 book. I haven't even start all of this yet, but I am excited by the possibilities! I have lurked here for many years - only posting a few times. Since both the idea of integrated science and the Ck-12 information came from you guys, I thought I would share!

Bee Happy Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I just discovered this and I'm debating using it next year. It looks good. I wonder if anyone has any reviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilight Woods Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I have been looking at Grade 6 Earth Science...... still on the fence though as to how I can implement it with WTM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee Happy Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I've decided to go ahead with using it for Biology and Algebra. I think. LOL You know how things can change before the summer is over. My daughter looked at it and thought it was okay. She prefers a textbook, but I just can't settle on one for either subject. I was going to go with Apologia, but we believe in evolution. And for Algebra, we have Saxon, but it's the older version that is so disorganized, and she is not a mathy kid at all. I can't find any good alternatives to those and free is good. I checked out Complete Curriculum, but their biology and algebra seem so easy. Almost grade levels behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
