Apparently, some schools are getting rid of textbooks in their schools and replacing it with something called "iSchool initiative"- a mobile learning device. It looks very similar to an ipad. That's basically what it is with it's touch screen. It's lighter in weight and much less bulky than a normal textbook. Students say "it gives us free reign on what we can do than just reading from a book. Usage of the internet can widen our learning and gives us more resources. It's also pretty cool!" Teachers, on the other hand, are worried that the students may misuse the new technology, taking advantage of their use of the Internet. Whatever the consequences may be, I'm sure the students will want to keep this awesome new learning system; I don't think they'll want to mess with it.
