I cannot believe how far I have come both personally and professionally in such a short amount of time.  Through this journey I have been both time and design challenged but have made it through with the support of my family and this wonderful community! For me, the best part was becoming a student again and feeling  challenged and frustrated but knowing help was just a "click" away.Thanks so much to Shelly and all the members for all the wonderful resources and the opportunity to learn and grow.

Just two words to describe this course: Enriching and engaging. I'm glad I had this great opportunity that I will never forget. I can't wait to follow a new EVO course.
Thank You for everything

This is my first Evo experience and I must say that I've learnt so much! I realise that there is a new way to communicate with our students, and digital tools offer great support, but if we don't know how to use them, the gap between them, students, and us, teachers, becomes wider and wider. It's thanks to people like our moderators, and dear friends (Teresa), that we can reduce the distance between these two realities and give the best of ourselves!

I have  spent my life among books and readings and  I am book addicted...... but   I have become familiar with IT thanks to some people I have met online who introduced me to the new world of education that is changing our learning  environment.  More and more, I have met students who are not interested in what we teach and  I think that  this is really sad as we cannot meet their needs. Because of this  bad situation  I think that teachers need to act to create " a new " community of learners.   E-books and new web 2.0 tools are now part of my work.
Why I did this course

I decided to do the session mainly  to learn more about  ebooks. I got engaged and I really loved what we did together. I loved the international community and the great support of all people who were working online.

I wish to thank all the tutors and people who were active learners and supporters in this  great  course. We shared a lot of tools and we had online discussions which were interesting and provided me with better ideas for developing my chapter.

Like a painter who is just starting to learn  how to work with the new devices among many  learners , you have provided me with the tools and brushes  to make the canvas  a great masterpiece of Art.   We spent  5 great weeks together and our  Academy has reached so many  great  achievements. I have started bookmarking the mind map creators and all the ebook creators. Some were new to me, I had met others online but I have realized that  I cannot master all the tools, it takes time and I need to experiment and see what is good or bad.   One problem are my students who  do not often have  access to a good internet connection.
I have not found the perfect tool yet but I have seen that people like me can teach their students how to work in a different way.    This is the great aim of what we have  done. It is a success for  us and  we will present  others what we can do with ebooks!
I  hope I will be on line next year and do also EVO 2017.

Thanks to  Shelly  Terrell and all the other  experts online: you were really  great tutors.   Looking forward to the next session in 2017!

I really learned a lot of thing in these past 5 weeks. Mapping was really awesome. I started using coggle in my class to teach language skills. Mapping helped me to figure out the sequence for my e-book and even helped me to simplify the task which otherwise looked confusing. New webtools and the wonderful Padlet which though I knew but never had a chance to explore. Those wonderful platforms - livebinders, papyrus, Yudu etc. I never even had heard of them before.  I think Livebinders has binded my life as I keep opening it a dozen times a day and modify as per students needs. Other platforms were awesome. Even though we are in week 5, but I will try the other platforms to get a feel of what they can offer.
Not to mention the exceptional and excellent works of my e-colleagues gave me an impetus to do something along those lines- "if they can do a super job, I can at least do something good". Again my special thanks to Mrs. Shelly and the moderators. I really enjoyed the support and suggestions from you all and of course the wonderful e-colleagues.
Thank you all for this great experience!!

It's been an awesome experience for me, too. I've enjoyed every moment of our session. Both Shelly and the moderators have been very supportive and encouraging. I've learned about new webtools and got lots of ideas on creating etextbooks. My happiest moments were when I saw these G+ notifications from our community and then enthusiastically I entered to read any comments or see  who liked a post I had written. It may be silly but this was quite exciting for me because it was my first time using G+ creatively. I'm sure I'll come back again to our ebookevo wiki to read the shared resources more thoroughly when I have more free time. I've been engaged in two more online courses during the same period and it's been a bit hard for me to be as creative as I should have been.
Thank you all for this wonderful experience!

I never thought I would be able to write an eBook and that too in 5 weeks. Imagine, understanding technology and then getting down to use the technology! Thanks to you moderators. Without you that would never have been possible

This has been a great session! Many of us are coming back to go on learning and sharing , which is in fact what happens continuously thanks to everybody's passion.
For me it has been the year of Plotagon (thank you, Michelle!) and of my exploration of ePub editors (Sigil and Papyrus). I'm gradually becoming more aware of the different ways an ebook can look on different devices, maybe in the course of next year I'll concentrate more of this particular issue. I've noticed that Google Docs and Google Slides have improved and can really be astonishing tools. Other tools that are living on despite the passing of time are Issuu and Fliphtml5, while Weebly - the website creator - is getting more and more interesting.

Being able to write an e-book in 5 weeks was something that I did not see as achievable. With the guidance of this session and the valuable feedback from my peers, I did it! Thanks so much. #Wk5EbookReflection.

What a fantastic 5 weeks! eTextbook Teachers is a really engaging, motivating practical course, expertly staged and brilliantly moderated. I've really enjoyed it and learned a lot. I've learned the importance of having an overall idea and mapping it out, deciding on and adding a creative commons licence, being aware of some aspects of visual design and exploring publishing platform options. I also have a better understanding of how Google + works. Many thanks to  all - Shelly, moderators and participants.

Научное пиратство: Студентка из Казахстана создала сайт, который помогает всем ученым мира

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
В мире науки одна из главных проблем - доступ к научным работам. Он стоит очень дорого: за один труд можно заплатить 30 долларов, а ведь исследователям иногда нужно прочитать десятки и даже сотни документов. В результате многие ученые вынуждены в буквальном смысле заниматься добычей научных работ.

These have been most productive and engaging 5 weeks for me! I have accomplished so much – learned about the process of creating an ebook, discovered so many useful electronic tools, seen so many great examples, and, last but not least, started my own publication J I feel so inspired and excited about the opportunities that self-publishing has in store for a teacher. It seems as if my horizons are broader now. I am also so proud of myself – I didn’t suspect I would ever be able to do the things I can do now. This course was a real eye-opening experience and a great contribution to my professional development. I am so grateful to the Moderators for all the comments, advice and kind assistance in this process. Thank you J

In my case, I find that the best tip was to map out the unit before starting; it really made me focus and structure the chapter, so it was easier to write it. I also learnt quite a lot about CC, but I still have a question: the link/reference is too long, do you have to quote it all?

This is my second year on EVO sessions, first time on this course about creating e-textbooks. I really like the whole concept of the course, and I find communication between participants especially valuable. Thank you- and see you next year
