Digital Textbook Playbook

On Feb. 1, the FCC released the Digital Textbook Playbook... I am not convinced that it is what it claims or what it might appear-- following this will helps schools begin to understand the infrastructure needs of ensuring that schools can be places in which digital textbooks can be used, but the issue of creating meaningful curriculum and designing meaningful instruction using these tools seems unaddressed (or at least seems of minimal importance).

Further, this seems full rhetoric that will garner support, but the claims are supported by weak or even no real evidence.

My suggestion is to review the book, especially if you are a school leader. Because those in leadership positions (in buildings, districts, and higher levels of organization) have not yet understood these ideas, we have been far too slow to transform schools in response to the technology we have available.
