Open Laptops Inhibit Learning

in Ex-Facebook

Once, on Facebook I wrote:

The best evidence available now suggests that students should avoid laptops during lectures and just pick up their pens. It’s not a leap to think that the same holds for middle and high school classrooms, as well as for workplace meetings.

Former boot-camp teacher here: students with a good pen and an overflowing notebook performed better, consistently b/c they never confused “learning the magic words to type” with “learning.”
