Posted on by shellterrell

Part of the Cool Sites series

In my last post in the Cool Sites series I provided you with 35 free professional development opportunities for the summer! This post included ways to access free e-books. I want to share with you some great e-books that are resourceful and inspiring. Just click on the titles to go to the websites to download the e-books for free!

Unleashing the Idea Virus by Seth Godin

By far the most inspirational e-book that I have read and others would agree, since it is the number one e-book. Seth Godin sheds light on making your ideas epidemics. The book is about marketing an idea and offers educators who are involved in social media several suggestions to spread their innovative ideas. This book was the inspiration for my 30 Goals Challenge: Join the Movement, another free e-book you should read this summer! 😉 Visit the link above to find free materials including Seth Godin’s presentation.
