Working with the district's IT department, a high school in Florida has switched over to electronic textbooks for the 2010-2011 school year in an effort to increase student learning opportunities and save money (and maybe a few trees) in the process.
Student backpacks will be a lot lighter this year at Clearwater High School in Clearwater, FL thanks to an initiative that's being spearheaded by the school's principal, and Pinellas County School District's IT and media services teams. This semester, paper textbooks have gone the way of the 8-track tape in favor of Kindle e-readers. |
