Abstract

One of the most underutilized technologies available to the school systems of this nation is the e-book. Although the technology has been available for five years or more, school boards overwhelmingly choose paper-bound sources for their textbook needs over electronic texts. In today’s technically savvy world where BlackBerries, iPods, and laptops are commonplace, even given to students as in the case of Quaker Valley School District, electronic textbooks should be considered as a valid alternative to traditional learning media.
