Digital Revolution in learning

digital-revolutionAs the digital revolution continues to roar, more and more businesses and individuals are looking to capitalize on its latest mobile products. The education sphere is no exception, and as demand for mobile content such as e-books and digital publications continues to increase, schools and other learning institutions have now stepped into that market. The days in which schools had to order a high supply of textbooks and supplemental class materials on hard copies is quickly becoming obsolete with e-book readers, and one of the leading publishers of curriculum textbooks, Jacaranda, now offers their $100 digital bundle package to teachers and students.

Print textbooks can be burdensome for both schools and students as they can be heavy to carry around, they can take up a lot of shelf space, and they will eventually depreciate from becoming outdated as well as from wear and tear. With Jacaranda’s digital bundle, students and teachers have all of their textbooks and course materials within the palm of their hand. The course materials will be up to date and schools can save hundreds of dollars on one set of textbooks alone, which could mean thousands of dollars for a class or for an entire student body.

Jacaranda covers 8 subjects within their digital bundle for the secondary education level including:

  • Maths Quest interactive e-book curriculum
  • The Science Quest curriculum
  • Your choice between History Alive or Retroactive Australian Curriculum for History along with a complimentary myWorld Atlas
  • The Geography Alive e-book which also comes with the myWorld Atlas
  • The English Is… curriculum for English and grammar and Knowledge Quest, a game that helps students with the learning process
  • Quest For Good Health And Fitness e-book for physical education
  • Artwise: Visual Arts 7-10 for art class
  • The Humanities Alive curriculum for economics and citizenship

These curricula not only come with reading material, but with interactive media to get students involved deeper in the learning process and to give them a more hands-on approach to learning. Teachers get access to AssessOn and other progress-tracking material for these courses so that they can closely monitor how well their students are learning the material and address areas of academic weakness. They can also formulate tests and assignments to test student knowledge of the material and save time grading through individual papers and projects.

So why is Jacaranda’s bundle the most obvious choice? Print copies for each of the curriculum textbooks add up to about $560, even e-books of the curriculum purchased through online retailers can add up to about $383, but when you can get all of these e-books for a low flat rate of $100, why wouldn’t you? If you still aren’t convinced that Jacaranda and the digital bundle is for you, you can sign up for a free trial.

To request FREE trial simply go to jacaranda website and fill in the information about your position at your school. The Bundle is only available as an institutional adoption for schools.
