During the pandemic, many college professors abandoned assignments from printed textbooks and turned instead to digital texts or multimedia coursework.
As a professor of linguistics, I have been studying how electronic communication compares to traditional print when it comes to learning. Is comprehension the same whether a person reads a text onscreen or on paper? And are listening and viewing content as effective as reading the written word when covering the same material?
The answers to both questions are often “no,” as I discuss in my book “How We Read Now,” released in March 2021. The reasons relate to a variety of factors, including diminished concentration, an entertainment mindset and a tendency to multitask while consuming digital content.

Makes sense … perhaps the most effective way of learning/absorbing information is to involve more than one of our senses, including movement.

Think about it. The way some kids want to bounce around in a classroom, their little minds need the movement to help absorb the ‘lessons’, and the adults diagnose them with a ‘disorder’. Some really do need help, but most just need to move.
