Digital Textbooks

We have learned in this class that schools need to find ways to engage the 21st century learner. One way schools are trying to do this is by having their textbooks in digital form and not in the traditional 500 page hardcover form. In this article from the Times Herald Record, schools discuss not only the benefits of engaging the students with digital books, but the financial benefit to the district. If more districts had digital books they may be able to save thousands of dollars every year, just on books alone!
