Studying in the digital age: “There’s an app for that!” How tech, used well, has made studying so much easier.

Why digital books make so much sense for online schools, the unexpected benefits and how they brought our online school completely up to date.

Parents are increasingly looking for schools that offer a hybrid teaching and learning model. The benefits of hybrid working have become more apparent post-pandemic, they’re thinking: why not extend this practice to our kids?

I wish I’d had digital textbooks when I was a teacher. Here are some of the features and benefits I’d most enjoy. I’ve saved the best till last!

Budgets are tight. All schools are having to do more with less. But digital textbooks can save money in the unlikeliest of ways.

We at Classoos have been researching shifting attitudes to textbooks in teaching. We asked teachers whether they use textbooks or not and why?

1959 brought us the first fully automatic camera, Eveready the long-lasting alkaline battery, the first pictures of the Earth taken from outer space, and Xerox’s photocopier.
