South Korea Switches to Digital Textbooks in the Classroom

South Korea is planning change from paper to digital textbooks in the next few
years. All content of South Koreas school subjects will be available on PCs, iPads
and mobile phones by 2015. The education department has announced that South
Korea is preparing for a new digital revolution that will change schools of the future.

The project was started last summer. Classrooms throughout the Asian country will
be equipped with wireless LANs so that students can access learning materials
whenever and wherever they want. Pupils wont have to carry heavy schoolbags
and satchels any more.

South Korea is a model nation when it comes to using modern technology. The
OECD found out that youngsters in South Korea lead the world when it comes to
getting information from the internet and working with computers. The country
focuses on teaching children the basics of technology at a very early age.

Compared to South Korea, western nations lag behind. American president Barack
Obama has announced that United States is installing a national learning centre
which is to improve teaching standards and develop new teaching methods.
