Four Benefits of a Digital Textbook

When buying a curriculum for your classroom, it’s important to weigh your options. We offer hard copies and digital copies so you can work with us no matter which avenue you choose. However, there are many benefits to consider when looking at a digital curriculum. Here are four benefits to digital textbooks for you and your students.

Digital Textbooks Are Eco-Friendly

The mass amount of paper and resources used to print textbooks can be a tax on the environment. How the books are disposed of isn’t always environmentally friendly either. If students lose their textbook and it needs to be replaced, that is another book printed. What about when a new edition of the text comes out? The older versions are eventually disposed of and need to be replaced with a new set. The cycle continues until someone chooses a more eco-friendly alternative: a digital textbook. Digital texts can be updated online for each new edition and can’t be lost by students, making their footprint significantly smaller.

Accessibility is Greater in a Digital Textbook 

With print textbooks, hard copies rely heavily on text as their primary learning tool. This can be helpful and foster reading practice for many situations, but it isn’t always the best learning solution. If a child is an auditory learner, dyslexic, or struggles with reading large amounts of text at once, listening to their text can make a huge difference in their retention rate. If the student is struggling with reading the text, it can be adapted to an audio file and played as the student reads along, helping them with their reading and knowledge retention.

You Can Easily Search a Digital Textbook

When working on assignments, studying for a test, and refreshing themselves on a concept, students need textbooks to be available in a format that makes them easily searchable. With digital texts, this is instantly easier. Using the search function, hundreds of pages of content are suddenly searchable by keywords. Do you want your student to have a better understanding of how certain concepts connect? Using the keyword search method, they can see every chapter and section that uses that term, allowing them to see how chapters work together.

With the My Best Me curriculum, educator’s receive access to a Digital Teacher Guide, too. This makes searching within the material list, glossary, resource page, and other instruction elements easy! Additionally, there are active hyperlinks to parent guides, student activity pages, and any interactive media used (videos, documents, etc.)

No Waiting for Textbooks

Because digital textbooks have easy, online access, there is no need to wait for an order of textbooks to come in. Transfer students won’t need to share with another student or take home scanned copies for their first few weeks of homework as they wait. By simply ordering online, the student can be provided with their own digital textbook right away to keep them from getting behind by not having the resource they need.

My Best Me can be purchased as a classroom pack of digital licenses. This is perfect for schools utilizing online classrooms, digital learning, or remote opportunities.

Digital textbooks provide advantages for the student, teacher, and school. When considering a curriculum for your classroom, don’t forget the benefits of going digital.
