The state superintendent of public instruction visited Henry County on Wednesday to announce a program that will put digital technology in students’ hands. Patricia Wright announced what she called “an innovative public/private partnership that brings the future to now.” Henry County is one of four localities in Virginia — along with Arlington and Pulaski counties and the city of Newport News — selected to participate in Beyond Books, a pilot program in which students in history and social science classes will use Apple iPads as digital textbooks. The initiative is designed to explore the potential of wireless technology and digital textbooks to enhance teaching and learning, according to a release from the state Department of Education.
