The Governator recently launched an initiative to utilize for online learning materials in California schools. This is what he had to say:
“California is home to software giants, bioscience research pioneers and first-class university systems known around the world. But our students still learn from instructional materials in formats made possible by Gutenberg’s printing press.”
We want to know what you think about this issue. Let the commenting begin. If you are not boring then you probably have an opinion and it’s time for some robust discussion.
Schwarzenegger believes the educational system will be able to save money by going digital. He expects science and math books to be in digital form by next fall and wants to use the savings to hire more teachers and to reduce class size.
Of course always-hip California is the first state to be testing out something like this but other states like Illnois are also looking into the cause. Florida has adopted a free online reading program for elementary schools.
Many publishers offer online integrations of their content but they likely would not be making as much money if everything went digital?
Is this all hype?
Is the Governator getting ahead of himself?
Is this an expensive exploration that might not work?
Is this the best idea ever?
Is this the new phase of education?
Is California on the cutting edge of something fabulous?
