E.O. Wilson and the MIT Media lab are working on a great science text which shows some of the possibilities: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/10/wilson-free-biology-textbook
IDEO the design company has some great ideas here, especially about the social sharing aspect offered by digital texts: http://vimeo.com/15142335
The Inkling app on iPad is also showing great potential: http://www.inkling.com/

This is the blog site for the technology committee at the Lawrenceville School. We hope to use this site as a place for discussion about the role of technology in a Lawrenceville education, bringing in the voices of teachers, students, parents, alumni, and the world at large. We will also maintain a collection of related resources here.
