THE PROS

(Matthew P. Johnson, Using The Internet to Improve Student Learning and Achievement, 2011)

“Compared to a traditional textbook, a six-year subscription to an online textbook would cost nearly $20 less per book. “

#3THICK TO THIN,HEAVY TO LIGHT

“Since the students would all have laptop computers, I began exploring the idea of an online textbook. “
