Textbooks v. Techboks
I think that all schools should switch to tablets rather than keep textbooks because texhbooks are much cheaper than textbooks in the long run, they are by far lighter then textbooks, techbooks can hold hundreds of thousands of book in its memory core, and teachers can more actively help students reach their goals.
First off, schools should switch to techbooks because they are much cheaper than a textbook.

Finally, Teachers can more easily keep track of student progress. “It’s Big Brother, sort of, but with good intent” said Tracy Hurley, the dean of the school of business. Teachers can electronically keep track of students’
