TEXTBOOK
 They are more engaging for everyone
 Student in k-12 will be able to used them.
 Teachers will be navigating them.
 They are even branching out to everyone
IMPACT ON EDUCATION
 Digital textbook becomes the learning tools and technology enable student to develop
effective self learning skills.
 They will able to understand what they need to learn and research using online resources.
 It also enhance the learners efficiency and productivity
 Exploring open minded question with imagination and logic improves decision making skill.
 Digital textbook will be updated with the latest information in order to keep student up-to-
date.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES
TO SCHOOL

WHAT ARE THE BEFEFITS FOR
STUDENT
 No Wait Delivery: You’ll never have to worry that a text won’t get to your dorm or classroom in time
for the new school year. Traditional texts can take weeks to arrive in the mail, but digital books are
available for immediate use. Don’t waste time at your mailbox, start learning today.
 Environmentally Friendly: The future of our environment is frighteningly uncertain. Play your part in
conserving natural resources by switching to paperless classroom tools..
 Storage Space Reduced: If your classroom feels crammed, eliminate space with eBooks. Digital tables
have the ability to hold thousands of worksheets, quizzes, chapters, and homework assignments
without the risk of lost materials or overstuffed desks. Give your students more space to play or make
room in your dorm for that extra futon, tv, and bean bag chair.
 Interactive: Online textbooks give students the freedom to highlight, instantly search for the major
terms or chapter titles, adjust font sizes, copy and paste, and hear audio translations of print Online
interactivity saves readers time searching for specific information in hundreds and hundreds of pages
of material. The digital aspect also prevents students from worrying that their note-taking and
highlighting habits will ruin books for future students who prefer a clean page. Many eBooks also
provide students with quizzes or practice questions based off of chapters they’ve just read. This allows
students to take responsibility for their own learning without outside instruction.
THE IMPACT ON EDUCATORS

Regular book
 Textbook will have to adjust to the changes
 Student will able to complete their assignment on their effort and researches
HERE ARE SOME WAYS THAT INSTRUCTORS CAN
USE DIGITAL TEXTBOOKS IN THE CLASSROOMS.
 Simplify Complex Subjects: Digital textbooks help to simplify difficult subjects such as mathematics by
engaging students through digital interactivities, gamification activities and data manipulation tools. For
example, gamification incorporates branching that allows students to choose paths, a right and wrong, then
course correct along the journey and gradually join the mainstream. Digital textbooks encourage learning by
doing, and therefore, ensure improved outcomes. Besides, abstract concepts can be brought to life using
models and graphics, helping students to make the required connections and take learning further.
 Benefit from Blended Learning: While technology cannot completely replace human interaction, a blended
approach can take learning to the next level. Instructors can use digital textbooks to set the context of the
lesson by asking students to use the digital resources to read something about the subject before it is taught in
the classroom. Research shows that better learning happens when students build on prior knowledge. Digital
resources can thus be used to recall and activate prior knowledge and make current learning more meaningful.
By using digital textbooks in classrooms, instructors are spared the hassle of creating their own teaching
resources – they can instead use the millions of resources available on a subject online. They can then use this
time for more constructive interactions with the students.
