“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.

Very clever vocab builder that is flash based. I only wish that it would have a built-in audio file for each word (I don't think I saw one -- could have missed it).
