Textbook are getting old By; Josh J.A.

The Advent of the Digital Textbook: Boon or Bust? Every year, students get at least six textbooks and they need to bring it home for homework but there is an easier want than getting those books. More and more schools are already using iPads in the classroom. Students textbooks should be replaced by iPads. students get hurt or get back problem because their textbooks weight too much. Students also don't do their homework because they forget their textbook that they need to use to do them. The reason why textbooks should be replaced are the following; there is more information on iPads, students will never forget it and it is easier to carry.

Firstly, iPads have ilimited information but textbook no. With iPads you can go get information that you don't have in your textbooks and it is easier to find the information.When you search information on iPads and you don't understand a word in the text you are reading you can simply look up on google and you will get information about that word. When we are looking up information in textbooks we we get bored but with iPads we are more motivated to find information because you know that you can find a lot. With iPads you have ilimited resources. That one reason that iPads are better than textbooks.

Secondly, students would never forget their textbooks if it would be replaced by iPads. Personally, sometimes I forget to bring some of my textbooks home. I even forget to bring my books from home to school. I always bring my electronic devices everywhere and I never forget it. When you forget your textbook the next day in the morning at school you do all your homework at the last second. When you forget something you cannot do your homework and your teacher sends you to detention after a while and even sends a letter to your parents because you forget your textbooks. After when you arrive at your house you get yelled at because of your homework. All of this would not happen if iPads would replace textbooks.

Thirdly, if textbooks were replaced by iPads there would be least students with back problems. Many people get back problems because there textbooks are big and heavy for them. Textbooks have always been heavy and iPadsare light like a feather; it weight nothing. You just need an iPad and maybe a pencil. when you have textbook you have too much to bring and at the end of the day you are happy to no more bring textbooks. Its not fun to get back problems so iPads should replace textbooks.

To conclude, students textbooks should be replaced by iPads. Frist it have ilimited information and wedsite to search. Second students will never forget it home or at school. Third it is easier to carry everywhere. Textbook need to be replaced so their will be less people sufering of back problem.
