"For years, the conversation about mobile and social
technology in schools has revolved around how to block it,"
said NASSP Executive Director Gerald N. Tirozzi. "But it's
becoming increasingly clear that simply blocking such
technologies does students a disservice. An education that
fails to account for the responsible use of mobile devices
and social networks prepares students for our past, but not
for their future."
25. If schools adopt digital textbooks, according to the
Digital Playbook, “No longer will students have to
tote 50 pound backpacks with … print textbooks
[outdated by seven to ten years.] New digital
textbooks will be light digital devices – such as a
laptop or tablet – that combine Internet
connectivity, interactive and personalized
content, learning videos and games, and other
creative applications to enable collaboration with
other students while providing instantaneous
feedback to the student and teacher.”
According to the Digital Playbook…
Obama administration wants all students using digital
textbooks within five years.
