<p>Good morning!</p>
<p>Over the past four years as a teacher I have tried almost all Learning Management Systems available including Moodle, BuddyPress (and Word Press Multi Site) as well as a few more. I find that Schoology is a superior to all competitors in this field. </p>

<p>This isn't meant to be a snarky comment, but next time maybe aim for a different publisher - like Amazon where you get to keep 70% of the sale?</p>

<p>I'm convinced - although not <a target="_blank" href="http://ohlsd.org/blogs/elearning/2011/03/02/the-disruption-drastic-futures-for-publishers/">entirely clear how</a> - that this is way to generate some funds.</p>

<p><strong>I will provide one free copy for the first 10 School Districts that request it from me at Ggrachis@hotmail.com</strong></p>
<p>I can't even get it free from the publisher! I just purchased several copies for my family...</p>

<p>I would try <a target="_blank" href="http://Enterthegroup.com" rel="nofollow">http://Enterthegroup.com</a>. It's free and you can do social networking, virtual classrooms, group projects plus a bunch of other things like blogging, to-do lists, calendars etc.</p>
<p>I think it depends on how old your students are. For younger kids Edmodo is good, but for high school and beyond Enterthegroup.com is better and more practical.</p>
