- I really like the conversation about e textbooks. When adults go to research or investigate something, they usually hit the Internet. I believe many kids are more comfortable with using a device to read. Books are still important, we just need to challenge our definition of "books". That would be a great pilot project! Who is up for it?
The Future of Textbooks
I have begun to receive textbook material from publishers since we are entering our curriculum revision and textbook adoption years. One thing I have noticed recently (with two kids in college) about textbooks is that many are turning to ebooks or online versions. This seems to be the future of textbok adoption and we are most likely going to be faced with this version of information delivery whether we like it or not. Maybe not this adoption cycle but most likely soon after. What are your thoughts? Do you have any ideas on how we should approach this change? How about the use of tablets (ipads/itouch) as a way of delivering the textbooks? What about the kids who cannot afford this type of delivery system? What questions or doubts do you have? Is this an inevitable change? Please comment and I will repost if you would like.
Thanks,
Bruce

Interesting Article!
The modern day "Scarlet Letter" but probably a bad idea for public relations.
