	The first phase of Governor Schwarzenegger’s digital textbook initiative focused on high school geometry, algebra II, trigonometry, calculus, physics, chemistry, biology/life science and earth science digital textbooks. In August 2009, the Schwarzenegger announced that 16 free digital textbooks for high school math and science classes met at least 90 percent of California’s academic standards, and four met 100 percent.

			Thusfar, the approved digital textbooks may be used as supplementary materials. In order for materials to become a required text, they must meet every standard, including California’s social content standards, which none of the digital textbooks have been reviewed for yet.

	Phase II, starting in January 2010, invites content developers to submit textbooks for review against California’s academic content standards in the areas of linear algebra; probability and statistics; world history, culture and geography; U.S. history and geography; American democracy; and economics. Review of submitted digital textbooks will be coordinated by the California Learning Resources Network (CLRN) and conducted by expert teachers and content specialists.

Phase 2 of the project is underway. The second phase calls on content developers to submit high school history-social science and higher-level math course textbooks for review against California’s academic content standards. The first phase of the initiative focused on high school math and science textbooks.

	Phase 2 of the project is underway. The ~~California Learning Resource Network (CLRN) is responsible~~ for ~~reviewing these materials to verify that they are aligned to the California~~ content standards~~. Qualifying mathematics courses include geometry, algebra II, trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra, and probability and statistics~~. The ~~science materials must be aligned to~~ the ~~standards for physics, chemistry, biology/life sciences, or earth sciences, including the investigation~~ and ~~experimentation strand.
