The document discusses the benefits of digital textbooks, including free and low-cost access to standards-aligned materials, the ability to project content or view it on computers, and the flexibility to print chapters or bind materials for traditional classroom use. It notes that Governor Schwarzenegger supported a digital textbook initiative in California in 2009. Several publishers are offering free science and math digital textbooks that meet state standards, along with student/teacher editions and workbooks, and reports on how many standards each book addresses. Schools can access these materials on listed websites.
