Strengths?Weaknesses? 11. iPad Laptop Researching Reading Typing Writing Drawing Recording Editing movies 12. Taking notes on laptops rather than in longhand is increasingly common. Many researchers have suggested that laptop note taking is less effective than longhand note taking for learning. Prior studies have primarily focused on students capacity for multitasking and distraction when using laptops. The present research suggests that even when laptops are used solely to take notes, they may still be impairing learning because their use results in shallower processing. In three studies, we found that students who took notes on laptops performed worse on conceptual questions than students who took notes longhand. We show that whereas taking more notes can be beneficial, laptop note takers tendency to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and reframing it in their own words is detrimental to learning. 13.

So what should we say when children complete a task say, math problems quickly and perfectly? Should we deny them the praise they have earned? Yes. When this happens, I say, Whoops. I guess that was too easy. I apologize for wasting your time. Lets do something you can really learn from! 40. Transformation is not about the iPad or any piece of technology 41. So, whats next? 42.
