Upside Down...

I'm thinking of the old Tom and Jerry cartoon, where one chases the other...then all of a sudden, they trade and begin chasing in reverse order. That was my reaction to the recent eSchoolNews headline of Riverdeep buys Houghton Mifflin for $1.8B (http://www.eschoolnews.com/news/showStoryts.cfm?ArticleID=6729). This isn't your father's textbook anymore...

Thanks for the information about HM. Over the past several years, I've told their WA state reps that HM really needed to get up to speed on electronic resources, especially in things like social studies and science. I think they have a solid product as far as a text can go, but their electronic resources are pretty minimal.
