No Books, No Problem: Teaching Without a Text

I read the comments to "No Books, No Problem: Teaching Without a Text." I think the main point that most of the people were making is that students have to have a balanced education. Meaning it shouldn't be based all on textbook, and not all on other resources, but a little of both. I completely agree with this because having only one resource to go by limits the teacher, as well as the student. If teachers would take some information out of the textbook, research other materials, and get some hands-on activities; teachers could tailor their curriculum for that set of students. Some students learn faster than others, may already have that knowledge, or may need a little more help in a subject. By tailoring the curriculum to the students and using a combination of the textbook and other resources, it allows for maximum learning.
