Teachers selling their lesson plans online | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News| News: Education:

"Ken Norman used to give away to other teachers lesson plans that he had spent hours and hours creating for high school government and economics classes.

But times have changed.

Online auction sites and marketplaces can make anyone an entrepreneur, and Norman has joined the thousands of teachers buying and selling lesson plans online. A nine-week Texas history course with a syllabus, quizzes and tests can retail for $10. Colorful diagrams to help kindergartners learn to count using coins go for $3.

On these Web sites, teachers can browse and buy lesson plans for students in pre-K through 12th grade in every imaginable subject."
