EDUCATION IN THE SPOTLIGHT: by Mike St. Pierre

The launch of the iPad from Apple is not just another gadget into the mix of all that we currently have.  It’s meant to be much more and book publishers are entering into dynamic and deeply creative conversation about the future of textbooks.  And softcovers.  And magazines.  You can throw traditional newspapers into the mix as well.

Just have a listen to the podcast we did with Charles Nutt, newspaper editor. Even Charles is realistic enough to see how the entire industry is in the midst of radical change.

I stumbled onto this discussion by Craig Mod as Twittered by Michael Hyatt, CEO of Thomas Nelson (the world’s largest Christian book publisher). Craig discusses the ways in which he’s excited about what the iPad will bring to publishers and text books.

Worth a read.
