This blog is home of the 21st century scholars course at East Knox High School. Those who visit must interact , debate, and discuss events that are important to our lives.
Sports Illustrated created an example of what their magazine will be like in the future using the Ipad or similar devices. I believe textbooks will soon look and function like this as well.
I think this is wicked! I agree textbooks and encyclopedias will also be in the same format eventually. I also think most kids will be on line virtual students in the future too.
This seems to be the same concept as the Kindle, where you can read all your books on the electronical device. I think having school textbooks in this format would be amazing. My only question is, would this be unrealistic in schools because of price, and tech management..?
Alrighty so i think that using giant ipods instead of textbooks would be a good idea on several levels such as no more lost books, no more book damages, and it would make a wide viriety of books available to every student. I have a few concerns with this though. My main one is i dont really want to have to charge my math textbook. Im worried about todays society, i think technology is taking over to much.
All students taking any type of flex-credit course must participate in the Current Events Blog. You are expected to discuss the articles and videos as well as comment or debate with other students. You must comment at a minimum of twice a week and correct grammar and spelling is expected. The blog will be updated Sunday nights or early Monday mornings. Depending on the discussions I may add additional articles later in the week. I will try to include current events that are important and relevant to your lives. If you find an article or video you would like me to post on the blog please email me at rgallwitz@gmail.com with the link.

I love that you can watch the action! It would be so neat to see a clip of a game then read about it. Great ideas for the magazine companies!
