"LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- To promote education and provide as many resources as possible to teachers in the classroom, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday launched the second phase of his first-in-the-nation free digital textbook initiative.
'Resources like digital textbooks play a critical role in our 21st century educational landscape, and expanding my first-in-the-nation initiative will provide local school districts additional high-quality free resources to help prepare California's students to compete in the global marketplace,' Schwarzenegger said.
The second phase, he added, calls on content developers to submit high school history/social science and higher-level math course textbooks for review against California's academic content standards."
