Schools around the country are already using e-books in the place of standard texts. This new way of teaching has been greeted with mixed reviews, from teachers, students and industry experts. But others strongly encourage more dramatic reforms. Information and knowledge are fluid.
Textbooks are static.
Present the information via a medium that allows the student to explore that information, that knowledge, and that student will be better off. The advanced placement calculus course at Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg, for instance, revolves around a CD-ROM textbook. So it's almost like having a little teacher inside there for you that helps you out. In addition to the practice problems, the calculus CD-ROM includes animation and multimedia examples. This assistance makes the presentation of the subject matter more visual, enhancing the student's ability to grasp the concepts.
