  • most screens, e-readers, smartphones and tablets interfere with intuitive navigation of a text and inhibit people from mapping the journey in their minds. A reader of digital text might scroll through a seamless stream of words, tap forward one page at a time or use the search function to immediately locate a particular phrase—but it is difficult to see any one passage in the context of the entire text
  • students reading pdf files had a more difficult time finding particular information when referencing the texts. Volunteers on computers could only scroll or click through the pdfs one section at a time, whereas students reading on paper could hold the text in its entirety in their hands and quickly switch between different pages.
  • People report that they enjoy flipping to a previous section of a paper book when a sentence surfaces a memory of something they read earlier, for example, or quickly scanning ahead on a whim.

      How can we prevent this from happening in our own school, if we are looking at having tests every four weeks or so?  Could we make those tests flexible, so that teachers can administer them when they want?  Do we have to even have tests?  Could we move completely to portfolios?

    Love this idea. Is there a way to get names from the school-based counselors of students who need a love letter, and have our classes write letters to those particular students?

      Love the idea of badges.  Will be working over the next semester to figure out how I can use them in my English replacement classes as a way to both let students know what skills there are that need to be mastered and as a way to keep track of their achievements.
