ASSIGNMENT 2

Media Companies, Seeing Profit Slip, Push Into Education


This news article focuses on how media companies are moving towards the education sector through digital distribution of their services and products. A few major media companies include Discovery, Walt Disney and NBCUniversal who are entering the realms of schools which was previously dominated by publishing houses. Most teachers also agree that although they are used to the traditional methods of teaching, technology helps student motivation and makes learning more individualized to the pace of every learner. Another important aspect is the lower cost per child in acquiring materials to enhance their learning experience. However, leading publishing houses are also aware of this shift and have partnered up with apple's ibook which is their digital version of doing what they do best, just electronically.
