Phi Delta Kappan, v92 n7 p46-50 Apr 2011
In 2008, the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation began the social studies textbook adoption process. Concurrently, the Indiana State Board of Education wrote a memo encouraging schools to look at digital resources; BCSC did not hesitate. This article describes why BCSC chose to move to a digital format at the secondary level, the process they used, a product they created, a digital platform they chose, and the lessons they learned.
