In The Age Of Screen Time, Is Paper Dead?

Good morning,

Does your school-aged student still prefer to take handwritten notes or do they prefer PowerPoint presentations? Do their learning preferences change from age to age? Today we are sharing an article from npr.org which talks about a current debate happening all over our educational systems today. Is the paper and pen now obsolete? Do kids prefer screens over paper? In this article, 'In The Age Of Screen Time, Is Paper Dead?' a few facts about paper learning are brought to light.

"1.) 96 percent of parents think that paper is "an essential part of children being able to achieve their educational goals.

2.) Among junior high and high school students, 70 percent prepare for tests by taking handwritten class notes, and 60 percent make and use flashcards.

3.) 50 percent of seventh- and eighth-graders agree they "learn information best if they write it down by hand.

4.) College students like paper, too: 81 percent, for example, say they always or often use paper tools to prepare for exams." (To view the full article click here.)

At Linder Educational Coaching we recognize that learning for each student is different and a variety of methods and tools can be used to achieve success. Whether you prefer your child to use paper or a technology, we can accommodate! To learn more about our services and how to set your child up for success, visit: www.linderec.com
