There can be many opinions over this topic, so let’s explain why we shouldn’t have them replace our textbooks.The first reason that we shouldn’t have them is because if you lose them it’s it will have a critical impact on school.

    I can only speak for myself and what I see, there is not that demand for books, when we are consumed with the easy way out by using technology. Not keeping in mind that when we are forced to read for pleasure it keeps our brains thinking and allows us to better articulate our words and most of all be creative. A prime example would be instead of purchasing this semesters text books with the total cost of 300.00 and opting out to use the EBook option where purchasing these text books cost about half of that, is more cost effective for the every day consumer/student.…

    In 2005 an Arizona high school passed out iBooks to all of its students instead of the traditional textbook (Source A). School officials were under the impression that having this technology would further engage their students in learning, though what they failed to address is other things it might engage their students in. Teenagers of this age already have short attention spans, and when using the internet, the moment a student gets bored they can click out and focus on something that suits them more than hundred year old articles about the Declaration of Independence, and instead spend hours scrolling though Tumblr or watching pointless music videos- or porn (Source E). Until schools figure out a way to quality control the internet, passing out laptops and iPads will not necessarily engage their students in learning.…

    This generation has known of iPads, iPhones, and all of the apps that come along with it. I will use technology as an advantage in my classroom to teach my students because they can download the same apps at home to get more practice. As teachers I think it is important to use resources that are relevant to the students. I will not have a classroom that is solely based around computers and tablets because I believe that books provide important information as well. Students can not be in front of a screen 24/7 so I will encourage and enforce time in the day when there will be very little or no…

    In 2011, ten years after Maine began issuing laptops to all seventh graders, the Auburn School System launched an initiative to provide an iPad 2 for each of its students entering kindergarten. At a cost of roughly $200,000- representing a 5% increase in the school budget (Opinions Divided…) some taxpayers were less than pleased- calling it a complete waste of money. But in Auburn- and schools around the country- trends are emerging and showing the iPad to be a powerful learning tool and a necessary investment in our children’s future. For over a decade, Maine has been at the forefront of integrating technology into public schools and there is no reason to stop now. Despite the high cost to institute this program, Auburn should continue to provide iPads to students entering kindergarten.…
