OPINION: Overreliance on digital texts makes learning harder and negatively impacts the reading experience
Before computers became such an integral part of education, teachers often distributed multiple kinds of printed texts: textbooks, novels, plays, printed packets of shorter readings, and more. At THHS these days, students navigate their academic career by juggling a multitude of digital documents, usually in the form of PDF files that teachers assign through Google Classroom. As a Humanities-intensive school THHS especially expects students to spend a lot of time reading, and for that reason, it is time to reconsider PDFs as the go-to format for distributing course materials and readings. They are difficult to annotate, can be difficult to access depending on your device, and are not a suitable replacement for traditional books. Moreover, at a time when the school is trying to encourage independent reading, digital readings make reading less pleasurable and can even be harmful to students’ health.
