History Textbook Content Moves to iPad in “Beyond Textbooks” Initiative


Some 300 students in four Virginia school districts will use Apple iPads loaded with interactive media and applications to replace traditional history textbook content. The project is part of the Beyond Textbooks initiative, designed to explore the potential of wireless technology and digital textbooks to enhance teaching and learning.
