Online push in California schools
While I support a move to increased electronic resources (for a myriad of reasons including reducing tree cuts/shipping costs, learning can be more interactive, and sharing of information can be facilitated), I know that many California schools lack the basic infrastructure for such a move. While a spectacular idea for magnet schools or SRVUSD, many schools do not have computers, sufficient internet access, or simply teachers who can effectively and efficiently utilize the online textbooks. The use of electronics will require updating infrastructure, which will be an enormous expendiature up front–something California seems unable to do, and training.
