The Digital Textbook Playbook is a guide to help K-12 educators and
administrators begin building rich digital learning experiences for
students in districts across the country. The playbook offers
information about determining broadband infrastructure for schools and
classrooms, leveraging home and community broadband to extend the
digital learning environment, and understanding necessary device
...considerations. It also provides lessons learned from school
districts that have engaged in successful transitions to digital learning.
The Digital Textbook Playbook was developed by the Digital Textbook
Collaborative, a joint effort of industry stakeholders, school officials
and nonprofit leaders to encourage collaboration, accelerate the
development of digital textbooks and improve the quality and penetration
of digital learning in K-12 public education. The collaborative was
convened by the Federal Communications Commission and the U.S.
Department of Education and builds upon the FCC's National Broadband
Plan and the Department of Education's National Education Technology Plan
