In an effort to improve classroom resources across the United States, School Specialty recently released additions to its classroom technology solutions, which will allow educators to arm arm with the 21st century skills needed to succeed throughout higher levels of education.

"Expanding classroom sizes, evolving standards requirements and differentiation in meeting instructional needs makes teaching more challenging every day," said Shantanu Bose, vice president of school supplies and classroom technology. "Our new array of technology products is focused on how best to meet the needs of our customers in enhancing their productivity and effectiveness."

The recent expansion includes document cameras, short throw digital projectors, interactive white boards, listening centers, student response systems and slates.

Digital learning can be made possible for more students if e-textbooks if more affordable for a larger amount of school districts across the country, according to Inside Higher Ed.

At the 2011 Educause conference in October, Bradley Wheeler, chief information officer at Indiana University, challenged his colleagues to fight for cheaper e-textbooks to improve the quality of learning for a larger amount of students, said the website.
