Should text books in school be replaced by tablets?

Question

Or should it be a mix of both?

Answer

I work in a private school who has introduced both. Nothing can replace a good solid book in the classroom and to be fair, a lot of students prefer it, when we write notes or when i tell them to highlight something or to write an important information about a certain author, books come in handy. 
There are tables for self-study and research where there is a software with a strict rules on what is allowed or not. If they ever go on a questionable website, the school gets a notice and the tablet is confiscated, when we started we confiscated 7 and ever since then kids have learned. 
As a teacher, i prefer to and all my tests, questionaries and exams are paper. Much easier to mark and to write notes. Also i cant imagine marking 100+ literature essays, my eyes would be tomato red.

Answer

No..
The only way technology should replace old fashion teachings is if it's made avaliable to EVERYONE. I graduated in 2015 when it was becoming more and more popular to do your work online and had people in my class who had to stay after school EVERYDAY to do their homework because their parents didn't have/couldn't afford iPads and WiFi.

Answer

The younger crowd can definitely handle it better than I can. 
I am still in the tangible, highlight everything by hand mindset. 
But the plus of no trees and kids not carrying 80 lb bookbags... I’m all for!

Answer

Books are easier to read. Books don’t have WiFi issues. Tablets/computers have their place, definitely, but writing and drawing is a different thought process to typing. 
My students write, sketch, note-take or make mind maps every lesson. The computers are used mainly for graphing and data manipulation, research, word processing and editing text.

Answer

Books are much better. My school was reliant on iPads. Mine broke and we couldn’t afford a new one. I was disadvantaged compared to other students.
I would have had a better education if we had used books.

Answer

the high school I went to couldn't even afford books from that decade, yet alone a tablet with the ebooks they would need for classes.

Answer

Nope!! Never replace the old fashioned book!

Answer

I think it should be a mix of both. I’ve had online textbooks and hard textbooks and I’d say there are pros and cons of both. For one having to carry and keep up with hard copy books is annoying, but staring at a computer screen for hours studying a book gives me a headache and messes with my eyes.

Answer

No no no! We need books and children still need to know how to write.

Answer

We need both.
