The document discusses the potential benefits of using e-book readers like iPads in classrooms. It argues that e-books could replace traditional textbooks by providing all reading materials in a single, updatable device. This would save students from carrying heavy backpacks and save schools storage costs for outdated books. However, start-up costs would be high and technical support would be required. The document concludes by suggesting that embracing new technologies is important to engage today's "digital native" students, despite challenges, and includes a link to a video discussing the use of iPads in schools.
