These Free Ebooks show students how to make "free websites"

XYD Foundation supports projects that encourage creativity in schools.

Here is a list of free ebooks:
TinyURL.com/showYourWork   Show Your Work on websites
TinyURL.com/Fischlerebook   Commentaries by Dr. Fischler
TinyURL.com/sunportfolios5   A letter to directors of schools

TinyURL.com/sunNoel   How to use Weebly (*A free web-making site)
TinyURL.com/PersonalHistoryEbook  A workbook to engage students in history


Please share these links with the schools and educational institutions that benefit from your support.
These free ebooks provide students and teachers (and parents) the simple steps needed to set up a free website for displaying a student's work.   This procedure is used at nationally recognized High Tech High schools in California.  

The procedure allows students to show their best work to college admission officers.

  • Storage is free
  • The procedures are free
  • The website is free
  • Plus — The training is free (using these links)  
  • Get the free ebook  TinyURL.com/xydfreeworkshop

The websites aren't free because
• you need to invest your time
• you need access to the Internet

There is a way for teachers to train their students the skill of webmaking WITHOUT any professional development. TEACHERS DO NOT need to learn this skill.  

1. Teachers can show these ebooks to one student "who loves computers" (and who knows how to use Google Sites)

2. That student can teach another student

3. Eventually half of the class will figure out how to make a free website using Google's tools.
