Very inaccurate! I would actually suggest that you use a book unless it was more convenient for the student to look up books online. The advantage of having the real, physical book is that you have the whole text right in front of you. If it is yours, you can write notes in it whereas, a book on your screen, you most likely cannot include any note. Plus, people that do not have internet cannot always gain access to the resources that one needs whenever necessary and must do effective planning to be able to get them when needed.
It’s hard to do any type of work when there are distractions present, which is why books are a better decision. With the internet being a plethora of unimaginable content, one can get distracted from the work they are doing. Beings tend to be very curious, resulting in wasted time surfing the internet instead of getting work done.
Plus, having access to full text is the best thing ever, to the student’s advantage. Sometime an article’s or a featured excerpt’s full text cannot be found. Having the whole thing with you already beats getting texts off the internet.
When finals come around, I know for a fact that students are going to look back at their book to review the content. Those notes/annotations that you made throughout the year will come in very handy! The book will always be there for you J
Let’s just all agree and get to know that the physical book that we can hold in front of us cannot be replaced by technology!
