Summary
Digital disruption continues to work its way through the education industry, creating new product opportunities for product strategists who are attuned to the industry's changes. Apple's recent launch of iBooks 2 and iBooks Author has brought more attention to digital products in education, but Apple isn't alone in targeting the classroom. Google — Apple's competitor in mobile and in many other products — has education in its sights as well.
