Going digital has an amazing unintended consequence for learning. New digital "techbooks" arrive on mobile devices with cloud-based media DNA: fluid, differentiated, embedded and rich as the world wide web. When administrators work to move a site or district to digital, it helps to see what "digital" and "cloud" really mean. The inevitable "smart books" have profound implications because when the textbook goes digital, the whole game changes. New learning resources not only touch the cloud, they also become their own earthly backpack with a camera, sensors, encyclopedias, and much more. Interactive projects, digital evaluation tools, online assessments, and mobile-to-mobile media break down old silos in education. BYOD and new assessment models suddenly make more sense. The ability to monitor both students and teachers gets more effective. Come get help wrapping your mind around these powerful tools!
