The state of Maine already has deployed Apple iBooks at all seventh and eighth-grade classrooms in public schools throughout the state, and now it looks like momentum is gaining to expand the program to high schools, according to the Associated Press. The report indicates that 47 superintendents at schools throughout the state have thrown their support behind an iBook rental program proposed by administrators looking to side-step budget shortfalls.
