It
makes sense that an easy-to-read E-Book, E-Homeschooling: Embracing
the E-Book Revolution, would explain the, often misunderstood, world
of digital publishing. It makes sense that a leading homeschooling
magazine, The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine, would present such
a helpful E-Book.
Would
it make sense if they offered it free of charge?
YES
- if you know TOS and enjoy being part of their loyal readership!
The Old Schoolhouse® has earned a reputation
for presenting quality information to homeschooling families and
has become a trusted source for new ideas and dissemination of valuable
resources.
Join
us in this E-Book as we explore a new revolution; one in which the
printed word is more easily and instantly accessible than ever before;
a world in which books are interactive and entire libraries
are portable.
Let
us embrace the E-Book Revolution together!
You
could be reading it NOW!
Gain
a better understanding of the many ways E-Books can improve your
homeschooling by quickly and resourcefully linking you with the
latest information on a seemingly endless supply of lessons, encouragement,
support materials, and more! E-Homeschooling is hyperlinked to additional

What do homeschooling
parents have to say about E-Homeschooling?
“So what's
a non-techno-savvy homeschool mom to do with all these files?
The E-Book, E-Homeschooling: Embracing the E-Book Revolution,
provides ideas for organization and storage of E-Books, hints
on what to print and what to read on-screen, and my favorite,
reasons why Gutenberg would not be offended! Most people love
E-Books for the cost preference . . . If you are looking to
use E-Books in your homeschool or have already downloaded
some, take a moment to download this from the Schoolhouse
Store and read through it. With all the ideas for organization,
you can pick one system and implement it, without re-inventing
the wheel. The thinking has been done for you. Gutenberg's
printing press contributed to the Reformation. What revolution
is our future that will benefit from the E-Book? Even
those of us who are not on the cutting edge would be wise
to become familiar with the new technology and see how God
will use this for His kingdom and glory.”

“You
just can’t lose on this E-Book. It’s short but
full of information that you will actually use. I
learned some new idea’s from organizing my E-Books other
than burning them to discs. For those of you who are familiar
with E-Books and have thought about writing your own E-Book,
there is a section for you, too. This section gives you hints
on writing, about copywriting, and all the topics in between.”
—Nicole
Smith, Willow Springs, North Carolina |
“Wonder
how to organize and decide what to keep and what to let go?
I know I do and I am addicted to E-Books! E-Books
have been gaining in popularity especially in the homeschooling
arena because of the simplicity and not having to take up
room on our already crowded bookshelves.”
—Sarah
Bailey, Springfield, Ohio |
“In a
helpful ‘Q & A’ format, the questions that
are frequently asked about E-Books are answered here for both
the novice and the expert E-Book user. Multiple authors contributed
to this E-Book to provide a variety of methods of storing
and organizing E-Books on a person’s computer, or in
their physical home library or file cabinets. I know that
you will appreciate finding a method that suits your style!
. . . Heidi Strawser (The Old Schoolhouse E-Book Reviews Specialist)
candidly lists some of the most common errors would-be E-Book
publishers make in their attempts to produce E-Books. The
advice here is solid and beneficial reading for any individual
who is interested in writing and selling their own E-Books.”
—Julieanne
Miller, Roseburg, Oregon |
“. .
. you'll want your own copy so you can go and implement some
of these ideas. I did and all I have to say is ‘where
was this book a couple of years ago?’ I took several
of these ideas and put them into practice this past week and
IT WORKS!! . . . I can find things easily now. I have not
completed my organization of all my E-Books but I have completed
all my homeschooling E-Books and I just can't tell
you how pleased I am with the outcome . . . even my computer
looks cleaner :) I can't recommend this book enough. Happy
organizing!”

“E-Homeschooling:
Embracing the E-Book Revolution is the most all-inclusive
‘book about E-Books’ that I have ever seen
(and I’m not just saying that because I had a part in
writing it)! As the E-Book Reviews Specialist for the Schoolhouse
Store, I see a lot of E-Books cross my path each week. Even
I was impressed with the ideas and suggestions that are presented
here. One of the most valuable aspects of this E-Book,
in my opinion, is the legal portion written by TOS’s
own legal consultant, Susan Spann. This portion is well-written
and informative; and a great place for new E-Book writers
to begin. From there, I’d encourage writers to check
out my article for all the things we are looking at when screening
E-Books for sale in our store. I think you’ll be encouraged
to start writing! If not, at least you’ll learn more
about E-Books, their value in today’s homeschooling
arena, and how you can benefit from them.”

“Our family has been
a mostly traditional textbook crew with just recently beginning
some unit studies and notebooking. The whole concept of E-Books
was a bit intimidating until I came across so many wonderful
explanations and ideas for organizing these little gems in
the new E-Homeschooling E-Book, just published by TOS. Not
only was there information about E-Books and their use, but
an abundance of links to real E-Books on the web that you
can access right away as samples. In addition, there are wonderful
references to websites that have free E-Books of classic literature
that is no longer in print.”
—Dawn

“While
all of the information contained in this E-Book is well worth
reading, it is the other features of the E-Book that make
it truly exceptional. The glossary at the end of the book
is a huge a bonus for those people unfamiliar with E-Books,
as it defines key terms used throughout the book
. . . the E-Book, E-Homeschooling: Embracing the E-Book Revolution,
demonstrates one of the very best features of E-Books in general:
the ability to navigate the Internet directly from a book!
Thus, the activities of reading and research are truly integrated
in a unique and amazingly advantageous way! Everything from
lesson planning to writing your own E-Book (another topic
quite ably covered in this E-Book) is now so much easier than
ever! Finally, since you will now certainly want to delve
even further into the universe of E-Books, E-Homeschooling
provides several sites for you to explore.”
—Laura

“E-Books
are becoming really popular with homeschoolers these days
. . . Now that I have read E-Homeschooling: Embracing the
E-Book Revolution I have learned several new ways to store
my E-Books. I already had a little system going but I now
have new plans for my ‘virtual bookshelf.’ I'm
a very organized person, but it is always exciting to hear
more ideas that others have come up with. It keeps things
interesting for me. I really recommend reading this E-Book
to learn more about the whats, whys, and how-to's of the new
E-Book craze. And who knows . . . you may even get
hooked on using them yourself!”
—Tajuana

“E Books are the growing
rage in any educational atmosphere, including homeschooling
any age, and advancing degrees through colleges and universities.
However, this new and growing learning resource is often a
bit daunting to homeschooling parents who are often at a loss
as to how to how to best use these learning devices . . .
I highly recommend this E-book for any parent seeking
a means to expand their children’s horizon in homeschool
education, and successfully prepare them for future educational
endeavors.”

Imagine
printing only activity pages your family will actually
use! Or being able to enjoy watching your
third child complete the same copywork or lesson details your first
child completed - eight years prior! Stop
purchasing multiple consumables for multiple children. Gain
the ability to print pages of material from a flash drive while
visiting a family member or friend without missing a beat in your
homeschool work.
Tired of crowded bookshelves? Do you long for more
books but simply don’t have the space? A virtual library can
be well organized and designed specifically for the needs of your
family and the coursework of your homeschool.
Planning for that expanded field trip and weeks on the road as you
learn about history, landmarks, local vegetation, wildlife, and
more? An E-Book library travels easily, can be
instantly expanded, and the virtual world provides a constant source
for additional information waiting to be discovered. |
“Life
is to be enjoyed - one book or E-Book at a time!”
- Amanda Bennett, contributing author |

In
Chapter 2, Amanda Bennett lists
five ways E-Books benefit homeschools:
1)
Different families with different styles of homeschooling
can all appreciate the electronic bookshelf.
2) Flexibility is found in the convenience of instant curriculum
access and interactive products.
3) Families will appreciate portability when they can
read via laptop, electronic book reader, or by printing only pages
of necessity.
4) A wealth of reference books can suddenly be found
at their fingertips without the use of bookshelves or the need
to lug heavy books around!
5) E-Books do not require special computer equipment, as most
are offered in PDF format, which can be read on your
computer using the free Adobe Reader software.
In
Chapter 10, Copyright in Electronic Publishing,
Susan Spann, a practicing attorney,
will answer many of your legal questions:
Can I copyright my E-Book? If so, how?
What is infringement and do I need to worry about it?
What is the Fair Use Doctrine?
What is Open Source Licensing?
How do I know if a work is in the public domain?
If I buy an E-Book, is it mine to print, copy, and share?
Should I really bother to comply with copyright laws?
What are the odds I‘ll get caught?
Plus so much more!
