There is more and more evidence that putting computers and tablets on students' desks (1:1 devices) was a terrible mistake. I agree with @AdamMGrant that "it's time to remove laptops [and tablets] from classrooms."
It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

Teach us to number our days, Jesus, that we might remember that “this is the day that the Lord has made,” so that we might “rejoice and be glad in it” (Ps. 118:24). It was no mistake, no accident, that we awoke on this particular day. This is a day to rejoice because it is…
It seems to me that there are two equally dangerous and false extremes that we can fall into about America. One is that it is the new promised land, a utopia, God’s favorite nation on earth. This fosters a kind of religious nationalism that is both idolatrous and willfully…
Supernatural human babies in the bible? Chained fallen angels? Ever heard of the Nephilim? So many clear connections and insights from this @timeofgracemin podcast with Dr. Bruce Becker. Good stuff. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bib…
When I'm on my deathbed, I'm certain that the one thought I will NOT have is: "I should've been harder on people."
