[quote=Anonymous]Just to clarify, do you want textbooks specifically, or just something other than devices? A lot of independent schools don’t use textbooks in the lower school years, but also don’t use devices much. I have a third grader, and, for example, this week in science they were learning about magnetism through a variety of inquiry-based activities and experiments with magnets. For social studies they’ve been learning about native peoples using a range of primary source material including documents, guest speakers, and artifacts. They’re learning to do research in the library. They don’t have textbooks not because they’re on devices but because it’s much more hands-on.[/quote]
