North Daviess is the smallest new technology school in the state to implement "living textbooks" and it rolled out the program faster than any other school in the nation.The projects allow students to replace textbooks with computers. It began in this year in the school's ninth and 10th grades.

"By providing students with useable technology, we are opening the door to learning outside the confines of a standard textbook," said Superintendent for Public Instruction Tony Bennett. North Daviess students are using the "living textbooks" to load locally created content, do research and complete projects.

The school partnered with Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Matrix Integration of Jasper, Ind. North Daviess is using the same netbook computers that this year were integrated in Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. high schools.
