Above is the article about e-schools:
According to the No Child Left Behind Act, teachers are to be proficient in the subjects that they teach. The law states, “Strengthens teacher quality by providing $2.8 billion for teacher quality programs and allowing local school districts to use additional federal funds to hire new teachers, increase teacher pay, improve teacher training and development or other uses.” This should include proficiency in technology. Teachers should be required to be able to effectively use technology in the classroom. Years ago, few students took typing. Now, almost every student must be able to use a computer to excel in today’s world. It’s a must!
Technology can be a great asset for teaching students. It can provide practice and a variety of reinforcements of curriculum. No longer can teachers remain ignorant of the internet and computers. Students who want to be marketable and succeed in the world must be able to use a computer. Technology will help a student to master basic concepts.
Students should no longer have to carry expensive and outdated books. Why can’t schools use e-books that are continuously, updated? E-books can be made with interactive websites that will help teachers as they help their students’ master subjects. What are your thoughts?

I completely agree with your statements. NCLB should include technology and for example, some of the books that I used in grade school were very outdated and old. I agree that using E-Books will help todays children learn better as well as improving their knowledge in technology.
Books for schools is always a weird topic. Since schools don't have computers in every classroom is could be difficult for e-books. Of course they could have books in the classroom that are also available online, so when they get home they can use the site to help them with their homework. Plus they wouldn't accidentally leave their books at home anymore.
I think having e-books is really good idea becuase it will be cheaper in the long run because schools will not have to continue to buy new text books when the old ones get worn out. Also, kids can never use the excuse that they forgot their book because it is all online. I think that since we have the technology to do this then we should because what good is the technology if no one uses this.
