No more books: Archbishop Stepinac High goes all digital<\/a><\/p>\n"Out of curiosity, Nicholas Dadario weighed his backpack last year
\nwhen it was filled with textbooks for his freshman honors classes at
\nArchbishop Stepinac High School.<\/p>\n
It was 35 pounds, he said.<\/p>\n
But that pack is going to be much<\/em>
\nlighter this year. Stepinac has become one of the first high schools in
\nthe country to drop all textbooks like dead weight and replace them
\nwith a \u201cdigital library.\u201d When students started classes Monday, they
\nwere zipping to an app or website on their tablet or laptop and had
\ninstant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum, not to
\nmention all sorts of note-taking, highlighting and interactive features."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Good article. Lower cost and more convenient.
