The use of digital content is on the rise in American schools. Eight
in 10 K-12 schools and districts are using some form of it, primarily
as classroom curriculum but also to round out e-book collections in a
library or media center. The most desired content is English/language arts, requested by 74% of teachers. Science follows at 62%, math at 61%
and social studies at 56%. Within the category of ELA, the
primary preference for digital content is informational texts and
literary non-fiction aligned to units of study, sought by 74% of
teachers. The content is being used primarily on laptops (75%),
according to 2,033 school and district administrators who responded to a
survey run by two education organizations. Tablets come in second with
62%, and PCs follow with 4 %. Smartphones are used to
consume digital content at 17% of respondent schools.
