Using too much technology affects important life skills and the way students learn. Researchers have studied the effects of writing notes and typing notes. Even though taking notes on a computer helps with organization and is much faster than handwritten notes, the best option is to write notes by hand. Schools are using…

skills improved. Many of the skills that improved are the ones that have helped me and will continue to help me through college. I do not think I would still be at CCRI if these did not improve. My skills that mostly improved are time management, note taking, and participation. Time management was a skill that I used to be horrible with, but got better with time. Going to college has helped me a lot with this skill. I have been getting more work done on time and handing more assignments…

Through communication and collaboration I…

students are forced to choose between either taking notes on a computer which takes up the entire desk, or taking notes by hand in a binder which takes up the entire desk. Notes by computer aren’t necessarily always the most efficient way to take notes, and the same applies to hand written notes. Occasionally, you will have students who will attempt a balancing act by putting their computer on their binder, so they can take both handwritten and computer notes, but this takes away all available…

whether it is for homework or note, the laptop has been the preferred option to take notes.

What I found showed that it was likely not worth the additional time needed. My evidence suggests that students similar to me are not helped by doing the sticker project and are potentially harmed, but that more scientific testing is necessary to draw any conclusions. My quiz and tests from during the sticker challenge had a lower average than the ones from during…
