With 1 to 1 laptops in our high schools, will there really be any reason to keep buying paper textbooks?I submit that these sites alone would be more than adequate for replacing U.S. History content information found in expensive commercial paper textbooks:
Lessons at Hippocampus
Open Digital Textbook at WikiBooks
American History Digital Textbook
Digital History
Best History Sites
MARVEL - Maine's Virtual Library
Similar online textbooks and quality content can be found in other subject areas.
Questions: How much does your school district budget per student annually for high school textbooks? Anyone have numbers to share?
