Should Textbooks Be Taught In Schools

In this case, imagine if schools continued to use books and worksheets for their learning and research. They would eventually be at a disadvantage versus a school who incorporates the phycology behind the hues of colors, design and technology into their classrooms.

It runs counter to the push for paper-free digital classroom where e-books are often marketed as the lower cost (and lower weight) option” (Lewis-Spectator). When we personalize learning, we have to take into account whether the

When incorporating technology, schools have to be careful in how it’s set up because “computer workstations have become ubiquitous in classrooms, school administrators have had to pay closer attention to ergonomics-how people interact with their workplace.

Looking from this point of view, little changes and major changes to decor is a big part of students engagement with learning. One library teacher experienced first hand that “When students walk by the library, instead of seeing a jumble of cords through the library windows, they see their friends and peers comfortably engaged in reading, studying, and collaborating at chrome tables with colorful tractor seating” which in the end, resulted in to more students having the desire to go to the library and actually begin to read.
