...Like textbooks!

Just read SmartMoney's 10 Things Not to Buy in 2010 — a thoughtful article which forecasts the obsolescence of some common, expected things, like gas-guzzlers, and some not-so-common things, like textbooks! Because I think e-learners are more likely to be savings-savvy, I thought you'd appreciate these hints from the article...

To buy textbooks for cheap:
CheapestTextbooks.com, Booksprice.com or Amazon.com (Half.com is also a great resource.)

To get digital copies of over 7,000 textbooks
Coursesmart.com or TextbookMedia.com

To rent textbooks
Chegg.com

Hope this helps. :)

Happy Spring Semester everyone!! (And, of course, Happy 2010!)

Holiday Gifts Your E-Learner Will Love

There are plenty of lists out there for gifts your mom, dad, and dog will love — but what about your husband or wife who puts every spare moment toward earning his or her online degree? Whether they study in the wee hours of the morning, during "free" time at work, or making the most of long train commutes, here are some great gifts for your favorite e-learner — even if that's you!

Lifescribe Pulse Smartpen - $169.99 - Looks like a regular pen, but digitizes your notes and allows you to upload them.

Solar Powered Laptop Bag ~$499 - Charges your computer in about five hours ensuring you've got power when you need it most.

Verizon MiFi Intelligent Mobile Hotspot ~$50 - Your own personal WiFi. Requires purchase of a data plan, but these are rapidly becoming more affordable.

2 GB Flash Drives At about $10, these make great stocking stuffers. Enough room to store every presentation, paper and PDF, music, pictures, and more.

An Ergonomic Leather Desk Chair ~$100 Make those hours spent reading, writing, and testing much more comfortable.

Happy E-Learning!
