This reflection is kind of piggy backed off of one of Bethany's reflections. It's something that I've thought about before, and reading Bethany's blog reminded me of it, so here is my idea. It may apply more at the college level, but perhaps could be used in pre-collegiate education as well.
What: Having a company that runs a website in collaboration with text book companies so that students can download books, even chapters of books rather than buying a whole book that the student doesn't need.
So What: This could be a revolutionary idea that saves students money as well as helps to make managing all the books that students will have easier. Students can focus on chapters that will be covered in class without having to purchase material that they will never look at.
Now What: I think the tricky thing with this idea would be to get text book companies to join in with this type of program, because I think that they would not be making as much money as they do now, but maybe there would be some companies that see the benefit for students.
