[IAEP] Some Comments on Digital Textbooks In California

[Maria Droujkova]

I would like to make two points about "the textbook initiative."

1. It's not about text anymore. Educators need to shift to a variety of
media.

2. It's not about books anymore. "Book" is the metaphor for a huge
producer-consumer divide and broadcast models of learning. The efficiency of
broadcast models is lower than the first steam engine prototypes. Educators
need to shift to co-production and participatory models of learning.
