COMMUNICATIONS LAW: FCC CHAIRMAN EMBRACES DIGITAL TEXTBOOKS
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski has joined Secretary of
Education Arne Duncan to discuss the state of digital
learning in American schools.
At the first-ever Digital Learning Day Town Hall held
recently in Washington, D.C., the Digital Textbook
Collaborative presented them with the "Digital Textbook
Playbook." This is a plan to help Kindergarten through 12th
grade schools transition to digital textbooks. The
Collaborative also helped the FCC and the Department of
Education update the School 2.0 bandwidth planner to help
schools plan for their connectivity needs.
At the meeting, Chairman Genachowski challenged state
leaders and the digital textbook industry ecosystem to make
national adoption of digital textbook a reality. He also
announced a meeting for March with CEOs of companies in the
digital learning space to drive national adoption of digital
textbooks in the next five years.
The complete FCC press release that details the agency's
plans to help facilitate the conversion to digital textbooks
is available on-line at tinyurl.com/fcc-digital-textbooks.
