DC News: US Education Secretary and FCC Chairman and Discuss Digital Textbooks with EdTech Leaders
On March 29, 2012, at a digital learning summit in Washington, DC, US Education Secretary Arne Duncan and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski led a discussion about integrating tablet computers into schools. They pointed to a study that said switching to “digital textbooks” would save schools about $250 per student per year.
