Education: Digital vs Analogous?

Digital team: smartphones, tablets, TV, computers, laptops, etc.

Analog team: books, newspapers, worksheets, magazines, world map etc.

Both

Because of Corona, I was also able to get to know the digital world. I have a tablet with all the documents and it sucks. It takes forever to open my "book". It also annoys me that I can't take notes. Otherwise, I think it has something to always have with all the documents. Unfortunately, home office doesn't work either because the teachers can't do it or what I know.

Of course

Then you've never had online lessons…

Something of both. I have a smartphone and a laptop, use timetable apps or read newspaper articles online, for example. The latter in particular is digitally practical, as it is difficult to get printed newspapers from certain other regions or even countries. I'm studying Scandinavian Studies and printed newspapers from Norway are impossible to get here. Plus, I don't have to buy the whole newspaper if I just want to read one article.

Books, on the other hand, only come to me "analog", i.e. Printed. I have the feeling that I can then concentrate better than if I had the text digitally on my smartphone, for example. Whether for entertainment or education. In addition, you are tempted to surf around on your smartphone and PC on the side (I also notice that with the online courses). Printed books don't have a battery that goes dead on the go. They feel better, and I also like the smell of completely new but also very old books (some from 1870-1905 and one from 1704), no digital medium can replace that. I also preferred to print worksheets, especially with tasks to fill out.

Analog can't break so easily, it also works in the event of a power failure. Understanding comes from grasping. But I like to combine both. But I just think analogue sketching is better. And I want to experience with people in real life and not in 2D. Becoming anti-social is not desirable for me. Team group with full real interactivity is something else than limited, filtered virtuality. Just gaining knowledge is not learning. To be human is to learn, to be a machine alienated. I also think home office is terrible. Individual offices are also terrible.

.

Of course.

That's why I can have a say.

Ah ha

It is much faster to first rummage the book out of your pocket and then to open the appropriate page.

You can take notes much faster on the tablet and find them more easily.

My experience can't confirm that.

In the search you just need to type the name of the book and it will open.

Our school uses Moodle and our tablets are weak and old. It takes at least 10 seconds for Moodle to open at all. In addition, I have to press the corresponding module, everything has to load and only then can I access my "book".

But that's because of your school and not the digital

These are just my experiences. And in itself: I notice when I work digitally that I can't concentrate that well, I like to be quickly distracted by my tablet.

That's your problem and it's not digital

It's not just me. If you made a combination of both, it would be great
