It is a small (but well-to-do) suburban district with one high school, a middle school and two primary/elementary schools. Every computer in the building will be networked and linked to the Internet. If Prentice Hall does not consider offering this kind of site to support K-12 texts, some other publisher will...The Web sites that support/expand/explain content should be supplied by the publisher and the URLs included in the actual textbooks used by K-12 students and teachers. While this will bring greater compexity and risk to traditional print publications, it will also produce greater profits. So gear up Prentice Hall.
