Description
Being that we both have grown up in the midst of the digital age, we have seen many things evolve, develop, and go electronic; including the way students choose to learn in the classroom. It seems that more and more students are choosing to take notes via laptop, tablet, or smart phone, but with that said it also appears that just as many students are choosing to stick with the more traditional pen and paper way of note taking as well. For our research, we have studied the benefits that may attract students to either note taking method, as well as, researched the cons that may cause students to reject adopting either of the two. Finally, we discuss where note taking may be headed in the future.
The answer matters to us because through our research we have been able to come across several studies in which discuss the benefits on digital devices in the classroom. We also find this topic interesting to research and see if the findings in the studies are true and if there are better methods for students to learn in a college classroom environment.
