Review: Virginia's eBook Pilot

As a follow-up to the recent blog posts on Florida's digital textbooks legislation, these are some important questions, from Virginia's recent eBook pilot review, to consider that could affect the implementation of Florida's policy.
  • What's the ideal infrastructure set up to support this kind of learning environment?
  • How do we make sure every child has the same rich experience when not all of them have high speed Internet access at home?
  • How do we support and prepare teachers to use mobile devices and e-books for learning effectively?
  • What are the implications of students not having Wi-Fi access at home?
  • How do you overcome the challenge of syncing and purchasing apps in volume?
  • What do you need to support the devices besides wireless connectivity?
