Districts move toward online learning - Jason Hawk, The Chronicle-Telegram

Both high-tech tools are being rolled out this school year. “Our children today are very technologically savvy, and here we were lugging textbooks around,” said Avon Schools Superintendent Jim Reitenbach. “We figured it was time to change that.” Avon teens are ditching old-fashioned paper books in favor of electronic ones, which can be accessed via CDs or the Internet.
