Schools have been using
books for centuries. Now, since our new generation is all around technology.
Everything is going to be on electronics. This means books would be on phones, iPad’s,
or Kindles. This could be a huge accomplishment because regular text books cost
a lot of money for schools to get. Especially in college, since every student
has to get their own text books. On average students pay at most $500 for the
total of the books.
This article I read
written by Pam Brombal has a lot of interesting information that says a lot
about what people’s opinions in schools such as: teachers, principals, or even
students. Gladstone school’s principal Matt Delany says that, "I think that over the next five to ten years we
will see a change in the way that schools operate in terms of using technology
over books, especially as we see new teachers come out of university who are
used to using iPads and new technologies," This ties into what I said
before about most of the books would be on the different types of electronics.
Technology keeps evolving every year, with new ideas and mind blowing
inventions that no one thinks could be possible. If this is successful in the
future about replacing books, then we could save the environment. I agree that
technology should replace books because it is much easier for students to
handle. Students can just purchase an app to get the books right away, instead
of waiting a week or so to get them. I found this very interesting, and if you
want to learn more about it here is the article I read down below.
