“Discovery Education is grateful to the Oklahoma State Textbook Committee for their rigorous review of the Science Techbook,” said Manager of Education Partnerships Duane Waber. “The Science Techbook has the unique ability to keep all students connected to their natural curiosity in the classroom, in the remote environment, or anywhere learning is taking place. Through the incredible learning experiences created by the Science Techbook, Oklahoma’s students will gather the skills and knowledge needed for success beyond the classroom, so we look forward to working with the Oklahoma’s teachers and administrators to bring this exciting digital resource to Elementary and Middle School students statewide.”
