I really agree with Angela Engel. I hope schools use this digital opportunity
to free themselves on the Big 3 Textbook publishers.
Think of the opportunities for students and teachers! There is so much wonderful content on the
Internet now, much of it free. Kids
could participate in writing sites, could download books from Amazon (many of
which are free), could read their local newspapers. There are so many possibilities.
Plus I am wondering how the Big 3 are planning to price
these digital versions of their textbooks.
I'll bet they are going to be charging for each download so they'll make
a fortune. At least with paper copies,
they could only charge when the book was first sold.
School districts:
Resist the Big 3!!!
As the competition is running for some days already, the deadline for submissions for the first challenge essay writing site "Silly walks" is somewhat tight now at 15th of February.
