A presentation last month led me to explore ibooks author. The idea of an interactive textbook is the future of education. Issues for me are:
1) I have no macbook. To buy one for £700 is somewhat redundant .
2) I cannot find a library of premade macbooks.
3) Without 1-2-1 macbooks for my students, the textbook will be somewhat redundant.
I hope to post with more progression on this in a few years. However, until then, I will read about the attractiveness of the idea without the substance of examples.

Above is a great link that talks through a teacher who is finding some success, although the link to his dropbox resource has changed (not unexpected after two years as of writing!). Worth a read, though.
