Karen Fasimpaur has a new blog post on integrating open textbooks in the classroom. In particular, she advocates detailed planning and phased adoption. From the article:
Any major change like this requires a great deal of planning, professional development, and support. This is likely to be a multi-year project and will only be successful if a long-term commitment is made. (Schools are notorious for their inability to stick with projects like this, resulting in millions of wasted dollars and classically low morale.)
