More educational resources are being offered free online
Teachers can now download curriculum or watch lesson plans from teacher-dedicated resource websites such as TeachersTV or Scholastic’s TeacherShare. But will the availability of free education create disincentives for those who produce the education? While some might view educational resources as a valuable public good, others might view it as an infringement of intellectual property.
