Online Textbooks• Many textbooks that are currently adopted have an
online component
• Teachers and students are accessing online materials including textbooks, ancillary materials and tutorials when available
• Textbook representative stated, “ The market place is drastically changing and the textbook companies are feeling the pressures and more textbook availability is on the way.”
• College Board has adopted new textbook rules due to the changing environment.
• Many resources online for teachers to enhance the textbooks.
Teacher Focus Group Results
Teachers continue to see the benefits for themselves and students
When the focus group got together the conversation quickly turned to the hows and the wows!
Student communication is greatly improvedDistraction was an issue early on but has since
become less of one as the students realized what a valuable tool this was.
Student Focus Group Results:
New things learned:Stress reductionThis is how they organizeNovelty has worn off and this is how they do school nowAll levels of students are benefittingFaceTime being used when students are absentEasier to hide a phone than an iPadEnvy of other high school studentsMade school fun!
Students“I can’t even imagine how we learned before this.” - Student Body President
“My stress levels have decreased now that I know where all my work is.”
“As the year went on and the novelty of it wore off, we realized what an important teaching tool this is.”
“Students realize how much it is worth so they don’t want it taken away. So they put it
away when the teacher asks them.” -Taylor Sutton, WHS
