As Classrooms Go Digital, Textbooks May Become History - NYTimes.com - 4 views

shared by Ben Rimes on 29 Sep 09 - Cached

“In five years, I think the majority of students will be using digital textbooks,” said William M. Habermehl, superintendent of the 500,000-student Orange County schools. “They can be better than traditional textbooks.”

  What sort of strain would something like this put on many school district's limited bandwidth and IT resources? Just this fall, our online 5th grade math program has encountered numerous problems. When more than just 4 or 5 teachers are using the online text with students, it bogs down the entire network, and brings learning to a crawl. Eliminating traditional paper-based and paid textbooks will not save any money, but rather shift the funds into IT invetment in order to deliver increasingly larger videos, media, and other open-content resources.

Another great post from Bud, actually calling attention to the issue of classroom management rather than the tool being the issue. How dare students express their boredom by doing something rather than daydreaming...

The project equips 53 students in two fifth-grade classes at Trinity Meadows Intermediate School with a smart phone of their own to use around-the-clock for the rest of the school year. Students can't text message or make calls with them. But they can use the cameras, mp3 players, calendars, calculators and educational software. Cook handed out the phones in late January.
