Many schools replacing textbooks with tablets

Mumbai: Flipping through textbooks and jotting points in notebooks may soon be a thing of the past. To match up with digital generation children, schools are beginning to think out of the box, beyond textbooks and blackboards.

Tablets will replace textbooks at four centres of VIBGYOR High Group of Schools from the next academic year. The school is introducing its digital curriculum for class V students. "VIDGET, the integrated curriculum, will be pre-loaded on tablets. The tablets consist of self-curated curriculum for seven subjects with interactive applications like videos, audio, animation, web-links and concept maps," said Kavita Sahay, director, school operations.
