Lack of home internet access hinders students with school-provided iPads

CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

I've already been down the road of lack of Internet access, so I will leave that part of the article alone.

As for the "technology is more 'engaging'" argument of making textbooks digital...

...the adage that "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink" comes to mind...SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS!!!

A digital textbook is more engaging than social networks and porn?

Making textbooks digital accomplishes one purpose, maybe a dual purpose...

...sells "new" textbooks to districts that already had serviceable hard copies and creates a demand for more digital devices.

In short, it's all about the money...
