E-Books in the Classrooms

Today I quote a post from the Franklin Electronic Publishing, please read it in its entirety here: Franklin Publishing

Education experts are optimistic about the nation’s first eBook classroom
at Dayton’s Resurrection Catholic School and about the learning potential
this pilot program offers students. Ted Nellen, Carnegie Fellow and renown
“Cyber-English” teacher from New York’s Murry Bergtraum High School,
expects to see improvements in the learning process for schools
implementing the eBook system.“Since the eBooks are portable, students can take them anywhere and learn
on an individualized level,” said Nellen. “School districts in every
community are always under pressure to perform and to be fiscally
responsible,” said Nellen. “So there are some obvious bottom-line benefits
for the school, including savings in paper and book costs – but what’s more
critical is the need for progress in teaching and learning methods.” Nellen
believes companies like Searchlight and Franklin are paving the way for
what he sees as a major advance in the administration of education and the
transfer of knowledge. “I think the eBook can be a big part of the
solution.”
Digital Press is here to stay.
I think that digital books would really help out kids and schools. for one thing most school don’t allow lockers anymore, so the kids are forced to keep their books in their back packs all day long. Most of these books are heavy.
My daughter at one point was toting around over 60 pounds of books. She didn’t even weight a hundred pounds at the time.
A digital reader would be lighter and wouldn’t hurt a child’s back. Also I think it would save the school system lots of money buying books.
Save a child’s back, save a tree, save money. Sounds like a no brainer to me.

Right! No torn pages. No cheat notes. Plus with all the electronic gadgets, if the school book looked like a regular iPad, nook, or sony, the child would be cool and study would be more of a breeze.
I’d like to say – thank you for this!
