The breakthrough of Apple’s new product, the iPad is surely guaranteed to revolutionize many aspects of technology in 2010. One area in particular that Apple is targeting is the education industry. It is said that Apple is looking to cross the T’s and dot the I’s to make it official with major textbook publishers. A business partner of Apple, ScrollMotion Inc., will be the company turning textbooks into electronically viewable pages. Imagine the hassle of not having to carry those heavy textbooks to and from class anymore!!! Scoliosis testing in elementary and middle schools will be a thing of the past. What a weight off the shoulders of our future children, literally! With these electronic textbooks students can play video, highlight text, record lectures, take printed notes, search the text, and participate in interactive quizzes as well.
