Nooks replace textbooks with e-book technology
The Bookshelf Project, a pilot project designed to replace outdated printed textbooks with modern technology, will make accessing current information easy for students.
On Nov. 2, students in grades 6-8 at Mound School were the first CMSD students to receive Nook Color tablets, followed by students at Washington Park High School. Students at Slavic Village’s Mound and Washington Park schools will be able to use the e-book readers in and out of their classrooms.
Due to the expense of hardbound books, many students are unable to take home textbooks. Also, the textbooks become outdated and worn with every passing school year.
“We saw this as a significant opportunity to help our students and teachers embrace the technologies they have already been using outside the classroom,” said CEO Eric Gordon. “By using current technology, the students have the most updated information available, and we can further improve our use of both classroom and homework time.”  <<Full Story
