Of course there are backups in place, there are hard copies of everything that can be copied, there are still video worksheets and lab activities, powerpoint driven instruction, and other hands on activities. This is a way of not using paper for everything. The readings are short, 3-5 pages, large print with color pictures that are updated every few years. The quizzes on-line are connected to state and national learning standards for English, Math, Social Studies, and Science and performance on those standards can be retrieved. Students do not sit day after day in front of a computer. What is the cost of a sheet of paper? What does it cost to make a copy? Muliply that times 10,000 or 100,000, then multiply that times 5 years, ten years. One text book costs $70 - $100 multiply that times 100 - 200 every five years. It's not THE answer, it's positive on more than one level though!
