Open Sources for a Quality Education = Free for the asking
There are several groups that are giving away their educational resources for free, providing "online portals for teachers to share resources and knowledge that would otherwise go undiscovered.'

The OpenCourseWare Consortium - includes 16 countries and 14 add'l affiliate organizations. China has 30 colleges that are actively participating.open.source.learning.jpg

Open Source Education Foundation - provides technologies and concepts from the Open Source and Free Software Movement.

School Forge - wants to unify independent organizations that are devoted to open resources for primary and secondary education.

Global Network Academy - researches and develops open source tools for distance learning and online communities

Sun Microsystems, Inc - offering open source products and services

Global Education and Learning Community - nonprofit provides online portal for teacher sharing.

Some of the best things in life indeed are free.
