Smartphones and e-readers could lead to the death of the textbook in classrooms, according to a leading headmistress. In future, pupils will be able to access textbooks and information ‘anywhere, anytime, any place’, changing the face of school lessons, Louise Robinson said. Mrs Robinson, the incoming president of the Girls’ Schools Association (GSA) suggests that children can get more from the ‘magic’ of using smartphones and tablets, than simply reading a book. But also, not only that, the fact that they’ll be able to access anything they want to, in advance of your lesson, so if you say ‘the next lesson’s going to be on the skeleton’ what you can see online now in terms of the skeleton and where you can go with it, makes children have far more control over their learning than they ever could do before.
