My friend Heidi, who is the CRS at the Tech Center (Vo Tech 2.0) found this site, Mixbook, that allows anyone to create and share books online. You can buy your book if you want, but you don't have to. You can share for free.
Therefore, you and your students can use it for projects. It allows users to invite others to collaborate on one book--group projects! It's also fun--I made one myself to learn it.
Two teachers--one from science and one from English--have asked me recently for a web alternative to creating a brochure in Publisher (which pretty much everyone I work with knows I hate). I tried to find some alternatives, but nothing really worked right in school--filter issues--until I found this on my friend's blog.
The academic uses for this site are infinite. Well, maybe not quite infinite, but close.

I found this application and am using it to create books for a service-learning project for my classes. My freshmen and I, along with the 1st graders of the school at which I teach, are creating seven books to be donated to different schools. Mixbook is so easy to use! The price is good, and it appears that shipping is affordable. I'll be ordering my books in about a week, and I'm looking forward to getting the books!
