Walden classmates, check out this article that came through my Google Reader this morning. It's titled The rise of digital textbooks and is written by Meris Stansbury, Associate Editor of eSchool News.
Erin, I think it was you who mentioned your disappointment that none of the West Coast states were in partnership with P21 (http://www.21stcenturyskills.org/). In this article, it's nice to see that Governor Schwarzenegger is connecting 21st century skills with education in California even if his state is not an official partner.
There is interesting information about a California school that has started redirecting funding by investing textbook money in laptops that contain digital texts. English students use the laptops every day in class and can take them home in the evenings to work on assignments and group projects.
You do have to register as a subscriber of eSchool News to read the full article, but the site has great information related directly to our course work.
