In reply to the discussion: How a book written in 1910 could teach you calculus better than several books of today [View all]ProfessorGAC
(64,413 posts)21. I See That A Lot!
About 2/3rds of the schools where I sub are almost all, to all, chromebook/iPad.
A few schools have them, but they still do handouts which, as a sub, I like. I can have my own copy, go around checking work, and help out more.
Oddly, I see way less of it in science classes than in math. I'd say 75% of those schools still have science textbooks.
