Education News: Students Learning With Online Textbooks

Nicole Winters of Keloland Television wrote this news report about schools using online textbooks as tools for learning. You can read more about this educational tool at the link below. Here is a brief preview:
"We don't really use the textbook anymore," Harrisburg High School sophomore Taylor Mouw said.
Instead, the students log on to Math Excel. 
"I like this because you can see how to do it and you can see if you get the answer right, right away," Harrisburg High School sophomore Sommer Williams said. 
"It gives them that engagement. They like having their computer and being able to use those things," Harrisburg High School Math Teacher John Stearns said.
Stearns uses the program in two of his math classes. Besides engaging the students, it also makes teaching and learning more efficient.
"It grades it instantly for the students and instantly for me as well," Stearns said
