dc.description.abstractLet’s eliminate government waste AND save the environment. Paper-based school textbooks, workbooks, and test materials, not to mention multimedia, videos and educational games are being bought and re-bought or licensed and re-licensed for perpetual payments by our government and school boards. Isn’t this a living example of unnecessary government waste, both of money and carbon? With digital resources on the World Wide Web, this no longer makes sense.en
