Have Schools in America Convert to Computer-Based Homework, Classwork, and Projects. (A.K.A.- "Abolish the Textbook")

Created by F.H. on January 13, 2014

Can you picture having an iPad or a tablet to carry around with you in school rather than a 20 lb. textbook? This would be a major improvement for all schools in the United States, especially upper-level (high school/college) because it would be so much more efficient with getting work done in quality & quantity, both things that count for a grade. This eliminates the need for students to have to write with the "paper & pencil" method, which takes way longer, and is just plain irritating, whereas typing on a keyboard or touch screen there is no need to worry about bad handwriting. Teachers can also grade with a computer so their job is easier too. Professionally or educationally, there's no way a computer can lose to paper & pencil...it's 2014 now people, we have the technology necessary.
