What a poor excuse for using technology we are offering students. The point is not to rebuild textbooks as videos. If anything, this might be a step in the wrong direction. After all, textbooks do offer a certain degree of interactivity in that students chose to read at a pace comfortable to them. Well, our President’s brother obviously has as weak an understanding of education George himself.
Textbooks honestly have failed middle school children. They rely on children’s ability to read, and they’re boring.

We should be using the internet to allow students to interact with each other and visualize the latest technologies. Instead of investing in a weak, immediately outdated system, why not just buy an Apple TV (now with YouTube) or, even better, a Surface. Schools should not replace one form of static media with another form of static media.
