A major source of teenage stress is school exams,and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teenager is under stress,how can you help your teenager stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teenagers' work. 24       What they look for is your pres?ence―to talk,to cry,or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teenager. Encourage your teenager to express his worries and fears,but don't let him focus on those fears.

Help them get organized. 25       Together,you and your teenager can work out a timetable in which he can study for what he knows will be on the test.

Provide a calm setting. Help your teenager set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give him a nutritious diet. It's important for your teenager to eat a healthy,balanced diet during exam times to focus and do his best. 26       If this happens,encourage your teenager to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet,rather than junk food,is best for reducing stress.

27       Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when he needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation,fun,and ex?ercise is all important in reducing stress. Help your teen?ager balance his time so that he will feel comfortable tak?ing time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.

Show a positive attitude.   28       Your panic,anxiety and blame contribute to your teenager's pressure. Make your teenager feel accepted and valued for his efforts. Most importantly,reassure your teenager that things will be all right? no matter what the results are.

 For a few years now,people have been expecting electronic textbooks to take off in a big way: they're cheaper than traditional textbooks,and seem like a natural progres?sion for students who have grown up playing and working with digital devices. Despite all that,traditional textbooks have prevailed―until now.

The game changer may be the iPad. Maclnnis is the founder of Inkling,a company that designs textbook soft?ware. He says the iPad has allowed for the reinvention of the textbook. He says that until now,etextbooks have basically just been bad imitations of their paper counter?parts.

Last year Reed College tried out the Kindle and this year they've been given free iPads to test. " The problem is that the Kindle is less interactive than a piece of paper,and the Kindle was so slow at highlighting and making notes that the students stopped reading them as scholarly texts and started reading them like novels," Alex Mont?gomery,a professor,said.

Senior Michael Crane and junior Rebecca Traber say that even though they've only had their iPads for a few weeks,they've already been pleasantly surprised.

"I thought it would just kind of be a fun toy," Crane says. "It makes it really easy to read articles for class. In fact,I read pretty much all my articles for all my classes on this now."

"I actually found it startlingly easy to make notes on," Traber says. "You just swipe your finger and you highlight. " Traber also has her doubts. " While I like reading on it better than reading on a laptop,in terms of creating anything—like writing papers or even e-mails-it's ridiculously hard," she says.  "I don't like the key?board at all."

Crane,Traber and Edwards may not know it yet,but they're all in the process of deciding what the classroom of the future will look like. They'll choose the device that works best for them—be it an iPad,a PC or a traditional textbook―and content providers will have to design soft?ware that works across each platform.

That's why digital textbooks will have to match the layout of their print counterparts.
