\nThanks, Captain Obvious… but, seriously. Rather than carrying endless amounts of hand-written notes and ringbinders in your bag, do your back and shoulders a favour and switch to one compact mobile device and your favourite stylus. You’ll be suprised! <\/p>\n
\nNever have there been better note-taking apps than at this time. They are a great help to keep your notes in chronological and thematic order. Moreover, you will have all your notes to hand with a simple search: It will save you endless rooting through old textbooks until you have found that one important thing your teacher said in that class last year about [insert topic here].
\nHaving all of your notes as digital documents, means having them searchable by date, subject or keyword – and always ready to hand. <\/p>\n
\n(Nerd Alarm) “Present research suggests that even when laptops are used solely to take notes, they may still be impairing learning because their use results in shallower processing.”
\nThis is due to the fact that, when typing, students tend to transcribe lectures verbatim rather than processing information and writing notes in their own words.
\nWhat does that tell us? Don’t ditch technology entirely – switch to a lighter, more compact tablet and still take your notes by hand with a Maglus. Easy!<\/p>\n
\nIf you live in a slightly sunny country, like to drink caffeinated drinks while studying or have a pet, then you’ll know what I mean. In those crucial moments that you need to go through your old notes, there is always something that will keep you from finding that little bit of info from 2 years back – be it because you marked it with a big green marker that has caused the ink to fade even more, creases on your page, or your dog making your old school books his late night snack.
\nYou will definitely not have this problem with digital notes!<\/p>\n
\nWhat more is there to say? Everybody looks cool with a fancy tablet and chic stylus when they rock up to double Biology. <\/p>\n
