1. Student boards and online book swaps: Many university student centers offer helpful boards where you can find students looking to sell books, or to swap them. Some campuses even have online book exchange web sites where you can locate those looking to sell or swap their text books.
2. Buy used online: We regularly get my husband’s textbooks used from Amazon. All you need is the ISBN. Enter it into Google, or at some other book site, and see if you can find used books for sale. Often, you can get these books for cheaper than the used price at the university bookstore.
3. Alternative bookstores: Some college towns have alternative university bookstores. You can go to these physical locations to find good deals on used textbooks.

It is also worth noting that you can usually sell your old textbooks in these exact places. You will never get back what you paid for a textbook — new or used — but you can recoup some of it.

Save Money on Textbooks: Buy Used

The primary focus of this project is to develop a curriculum for an after school program or “club” for at-risk students at the middle and/or high school level. This program would use the game, World of Warcraft, as a focal point for exploring Writing/Literacy, Mathematics, Digital Citizenship, Online Safety, and would have numerous projects/lessons intended to develop 21st-Century skills.

I always agree games and study can come together harmoniously.
