Are you wasting money on
hard-to-use, out-of-date,
inaccessible textbooks?
Are you paying top dollar for digital presentations that
can’t be accessed at home, leaving many students
behind?
Is money that could be used for other needed educational
needs or teacher salaries/benefits being shipped out-of-
state, out-of-country at a high cost to property owners?
Are teachers shooting themselves in their “financial feet”
by following “tradition?”
Can you do better? YES! Scroll down to see how.
|
| Any
Publisher Could… |
| Offer you quality textbooks
with EXACTLY the content you require at a savings of up to 80%
of what you are currently spending. |
All they have to do is: |
1. Change
the format from hard copy to digital
2. Stop spending money on marketing by allowing the
textbooks to sell themselves.
3. Fire most of their staff and set up a low overhead
operation in a venue like Starbucks!

The cost-saving plans offered by AlbaCorps
Publishing are not earth shattering endeavors that are beyond
the scope of logic and reality. In order to be able to offer
high quality, accessible, and updateable IT textbooks, we did exactly
what is says above.
In fact, any publisher who publishes digital textbooks and has
low operating cost can offer the same plans. Unfortunately,
few can. And, as long as "tradition" rules, states will continue
to spend 2 to 5 times more money than necessary to purchase
materials from "well-established" publishers that will barely
be used and end up in a land fill in 6 years or be sold to some
Third World country at a cost of $1 each.
In addition to the above advantages, the programs we use are
the same ones your schools are teaching and your businesses
are using and will continue to use through college and into
the business world.
If a publisher were able to circumvent the present scenario
that is characterized by lack of communication and low fiscal
responsibility and not have to retain a full time sales force,
pay expensive travel costs, or pay large fees to each district
for the privilege of making a presentation, that publisher could
take up to 60% off the cost of each textbook immediately. Provided,
that is, that they could be guaranteed high volumes of business.
Bottom line: There are viable options available to every state
that would allow money currently being wasted to be used, instead,
on more worthy causes- like teacher salaries and benefits.

Why waste money and limit services. Can we do any worse that
we are now?
AlbaCorps is in the process of publishing IT textbooks that
have no peers in terms of quality, cost, and accessibility.Can
this be done for any textbook?
Yes. If all textbooks were converted from hard copy to digital
and priced accordingly, the annual savings could buy every student
an entry level laptop computer with software- each year! Or
raise every teacher's salaries by thousands a year without increasing
taxes.
Let us show you by sending a copy of our Foundations
for Information Technology digital presentation for your
perusal.
We can even let you try it for one year for as little as $1
per student. In 15 states in this country, this is equal to
the can/bottle deposit for 2 six-packs of Diet Coke. 10 cans
= 1 year of education!
