This is something that we've mentioned before, but here are three good videos showing different options for the 21st Century textbook:
IDEO, the famed design company offers three ideas about how textbooks could change: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLSdzGDxqVU
Inkling has a number of "books" out now, and in March received funding from McGraw-Hill and Pearsons, two of the largest textbook publishers, as well as a number of venture capital companies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYyd4Ne5uQ
Push Pop Press garnered a lot of buzz after this presentation at TED, and just released their version of Our Choice by Al Gore: http://www.ted.com/talks/mike_matas.html
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.
