[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is mind-blowing that they don't teach kids how to take notes or study in middle school. [/quote]
Note taking was important when the teacher (and the text book) was the only source of the information. And then came the internet with all the information taught in MS/HS easily available in multiple formats. What really is the point of notes anymore? Good classroom teachers don't just "lecture" to students anymore. They have a variety of activities, simulations, labs, readings, etc. to engage students in the material. Copying from slides is not engaging to students at all, and a terrible way to learn material.[/quote]

The research on handwriting does not support your argument.  Writing something helps create neuronal connections/memories that typing or reading from a screen do not.[/quote]

That's what Luddites say.[/quote]

No, that's what an academic department chair at a university with more than 20 years of teaching experience from freshman through doctoral says.  (And I'm not even the one who originally wrote it.)[/quote]

So academic department chair is a Luddite?[/quote]

Apparently Luddites are the only ones to read scientific research...[/quote]
