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.

Classoos is proud to announce a ten-fold growth in sales since 2020 as schools' digital capabilities increased and the benefits of digital resources became clear.

After years of making resources with scissors, glue sticks and photocopiers; digital textbooks allow teachers to build their resources and curate their textbooks quickly and simply - finally a new chapter in the history of the textbook.

Tony Parkin recalls his shock at receiving vandalised textbooks when he first went to school – and wonders if online textbooks like Classoos offer a solution.
