Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Fountain Valley, CA

Total Budget: $3,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: Purchase/Lease E-Books for use by elementary students.


In discussion with school district staff, we were told the schools and many students on their own have computer access. The district cannot fully utilize E-Books for reading instruction and lessons, because the district does not have funding. The project would invest funds to purchase E-Books and also to lease certain titles. Once purchased or leased, students could access the books while at school and from outside computers. The ability to access from different locations allows use even when school is out or when a student is ill and unable to attend.
