Good article. Lower cost and more convenient.
Tim has an iPad, in addition to a laptop, which he rarely uses.
this is an excellent article about where education (and everything else!) is going –
No more books: Archbishop Stepinac High goes all digital
"Out of curiosity, Nicholas Dadario weighed his backpack last year
when it was filled with textbooks for his freshman honors classes at
Archbishop Stepinac High School.
It was 35 pounds, he said.
But that pack is going to be much
lighter this year. Stepinac has become one of the first high schools in
the country to drop all textbooks like dead weight and replace them
with a “digital library.” When students started classes Monday, they
were zipping to an app or website on their tablet or laptop and had
instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum, not to
mention all sorts of note-taking, highlighting and interactive features."
