Online, teacher-written chapters aim to modernize science textbooks

  • Online, teacher-written chapters aim to modernize science textbooks
    Most Virginia high-school physics textbooks ignore most of the past century of advances in string theory, nanotechnology and particle physics.

The Washington Post (11/30)
