I have considered buying a textbook to compensate for the new online textbooks, because I find the online textbooks unreliable. No having a textbook has significantly lowered my grade in some areas, because I am unable to access the online textbook because it is faulty. I can not access the information necessary to do my homework and do well in my class. Now I have to take pictures with my phone of the textbook that my teacher has in her classroom, and that is a hassle for me. In my opinion having a hard copy of a text book would be much easier to use versus the online textbook. This just goes to show that going all digital is not a good idea. Especially when some students don't have access to computers. Even those who do have many complications with using the online textbooks. For instance, when the student cloud went down, students couldn't access the textbooks that they needed for their classes. This could happen again long term and would be very bad for the school. I do think that this is going to continue though as we transition into a digital age. I can see how using the online textbook is less expensive and seemingly more convenient, but technology is not always reliable, and we need to have a backup plan for when things go wrong and we cannot access the digital versions of books. One solution to this would be giving the student the option for both. This was the case for the english textbook, and I know that many students chose the hard copy, but this was not an option for the geometry textbooks. Students are forced to use the online textbook, and personally I have had many issues with it.
