I read a great blog,
How to Create Your Own Textbook — With or Without Apple. The best part was the information on apps that were new to me. The blog author identified three steps for creating an eBook:
1) Aggregation where you gather all of the information. She mentioned Delicious and Diigo. As I noted in an earlier blog, Diigo includes some fantastic tools for annotating websites that I need to use.
2) Curation where you identify what you want to accomplish and the pertinent resources.
3) Creation where you create a repository for the learning resources.
The author also provided guidelines for targeting readers. The questions are pertinent to designing any learning content:

The author also provided guidelines for targeting readers. The questions are pertinent to designing any learning content:
- How are learners going to use the information in the learning content?
- How will they demonstrate what they have learned? How will the instructor know?
- What assessments are pertinent?
- Paper.li to create and publish your own newspaper
- Twitted Times, another personal newspaper app
- Scoop.it to create and publish magazines
