Moodle and Web 2.0

This is the second of a multipart series on how the El Paso ISD in El Paso Texas began the move from traditional paper textbooks to digital open textbooks.
In Part One [http://holtthink.tumblr.com/post/99909903725 ] of this series, we looked at the need to understand the cycle of adoption as basic in any strategy to shift from traditional textbooks to digital textbooks. At least in Texas, an optimal time to make the switch to digital textbooks would be when a major core area of textbooks are being adopted, This is because the maximum amount of funding is being given by the state to purchase instructional materials and it is a natural “break” in the textbook cycle.
