New techonolgy

Apple wants to change the way we look at the education system, by making iBooks 2 for the iPad. IBooks will feature iBooks textbooks, which is a totally new kind of textbook that intends to make learning far more dynamic, engaging and truly interactive. With the iPad’s display, iBooks textbooks are said to offer students full screen textbooks complete with interactive animations, diagrams, photos, videos, and unrivaled navigation among others. Not only that, you need not worry about your textbook being out of date, since this is digital content that we are talking about, iBooks will ensure that its collection of textbooks will remain up to date at all times, and even better is the fact that you need not lug around a really heavy backpack unlike your now-graduated seniors have experienced.
