I am moaning about pen and paper. And perhaps the biggest problem with my post is that I have no constructive suggestion.
But I am most certainly not saying that the current technology is better: far from it. I agree that writing on black boards is better than powerpoint. I agree that books are better than ebooks. I agree that video isn't necessarily the answer, and that it won't necessarily help the younger generations learn more efficiently.
I'm purely commenting on the fact that nothing is better than pen and paper and a chalkboard (and Microsoft word for writing long peppers). I am saying that I've tried tons of new technologies in education and they all suck. And I'm asking why this is the case. Can we truly not do any better?
Writing on paper does have problems: writing by hand isn't fast. Paper is not backed up. Paper is not easy to share or edit. Paper is not searchable. Notebooks require physical space. Some cannot read others handwriting. These aren't major problems. But they are problems.
