    A8) Technology makes it possible to create real-time textbooks that are digital and available to all everywhere potentially saving $ #oklaed
  • mrsamandahoward Jan 22 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A8 sometimes I think so but then with technology being so hit and miss not sure if it's a great idea. #oklaed
  • tstyles77 Jan 22 @ 9:52 PM EST
