From Dead Trees to Digital

By Brad

In a move to cut spending, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is phasing out school textbooks and embracing online education. Reports the BBC:

From the beginning of the next school year in August, maths and science students in California’s high schools will have access to online texts that have passed an academic standards review.

The governor says digital textbooks can be updated easily - so learning keeps pace with progress.

You can learn more about online education in the IIA Broadband Fact Book.
