Subject: Static vs. Dynamic Posted By: Ron Goodwin Date: February 09, 1999 at 17:08:21
A textbook is a static learning tool. If it has a misprint, or needs to be updated, I am offered an oppurtunity to buy the next edition. A laptop, or some other type of electronic textbook, can be easily updated, often without additional cost. Sometimes the upgrade does cost something. A student in the first grade can have "Dick and Jane" loaded onto the computer, and carry that with them until they "Romeo and Juliet" loaded for high school. Static vs. Dynamic
