  • "We spend approximately $330 per pupil per year on textbooks," he said. "Over four years, that's over $1,500. With the Android tablet, we'll issue it to a student when he's in the ninth grade. He will have that four years. So, that's under $150 compared to $1,500."
    • Eric Telfer
      Eric Telfer on 11 Jul 13
       
      This point should help to "make the pitch" as district leaders love the prospect of saving money. Going paperless saves not only on textbooks, though. Reams of paper won't need to be consumed, saving on toner cartridges, service repairs to copiers, less frequent need to replace copiers. One investment for the ninth grade student lasts four years. insurance policy costs?

      Okay, but will there be an equity issue for some students when they are at home? You can't flip a classroom if some kids have sketchy dial-up access from home, or no internet access.
