Episode 45: Pen and Paper: What the Research Says, Part 1


Listen Later

In the past couple of decades, we have seen a technological revolution both in the way people read books, with the introduction of e-readers such as iPads and Kindles, and in the way students take notes, with laptops now ubiquitous in college and high school classrooms. Have you ever wondered what the effects of reading on a screen versus on paper might be? Or if there is any difference between typing notes in class versus taking notes by hand? In this episode, Andrew shares fascinating research that might just encourage you to pull a real book off the shelf and take some notes with pen in hand.
