Of specific interest to business officers will be a case study featuring ClassBook.com client South Kent School.  This remarkable story details how this independent Connecticut prep school worked with ClassBook.com to transform its curriculum and teaching methods to achieve a remarkable 92% digital adoption rate.

The presentation entitled The Movement to the Digital Classroom – headlined by Mr. Pfister – will also include remarks from Gonzalo (Gonzo) Garcia,Chief Information Officer and iPad Program Director of the South Kent School and Dan Jost, Institutional Marketing Manager at Inkling, one of ClassBook.com’s partners that produces interactive digital books.

In the end, Mr. Pfister says, a case will be made that a school’s movement to eBooks is not a matter of if, but when.
