[math-fun] The Death of Textbooks?

Quote:

"I sat down with some students, and I thought this would be boring [to them], but I asked the kids and the kids said ‘no I really like that. I like working by myself and having these adaptive lessons and getting some cool feedback,’" Rice said. "They were really happy with it, which the textbook can never do for you."

But that’s precisely what worries some educators the most: What was once a teaching model is transforming into a learning model. As Atwell put it: "Technology is a means; it’s not an end. And it’s become an end within this country." http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/03/the-death-of-texbooks/3... Best, É.
