Replace That US History Textbook
Clay Burell,
Beyond School,
Jun 24, 2008
Clay Burell asks, "Can somebody remind me why, with free online resources like this, schools are spending tens of thousands of dollars on short-shelf-life textbooks, often dumbed-down and intellectually neutered (or worse, downright propagandistic) due to the textbook industry's fear of alienating their biggest markets in conservative Texas and California?" He is referring to the Biography of America series, a 26 part media-rich online resource sponsored by WGBS-PBS. Clay has recently followed the direction of his blog title and just "left schooling". -HJ
