This is interesting news.
Swedish education officials are investing heavily again in traditional printed textbooks.
The national strategy aims to phase out digital devices for children under the age of six entirely, following a drop in international reading assessment scores.
Research indicates that the physical act of handwriting activates complex neural networks governing motor skills, vision, memory, and language-cognitive benefits that are largely lost on a keyboard.
#Education #Reading@paulschoe Guess they saw it as detracting from actually being able to think.

#Education #Reading@paulschoe it gives us hope to know that someone, somewhere in the world is making the right call. we wish it were anywhere we lived, but still.

“If we used tablets where we wrote by hand with a stylus, would that reduce the nastiness online? Would we feel that we were engaging in a more personal way with others? Would empathy be generated more often?”
I’m not that optimistic it would improve the general tenor online directly, but a lot more insults and flame wars would die out almost immediately due to mutual illegibility.
On the broader subject, I got a refurb’d reMarkable tablet from Woot earlier this year, and I use it just for handwriting notes for work. And it’s been way more useful than I ever expected. Expensive luxury, yes absolutely. Also kind of an ADHD crutch (don’t have multiple loose legal pads floating around, just the one expensive device with half a dozen digital notebooks).

#Education #Reading@paulschoe Es verdad, que vuelva los textos escritos que estimulan la escritura, así como el desarrollo cerebral

#Education #Reading@paulschoe This has been a great move for you people and France also recently had started a ban on young children using electronic computer devices.
True,they have been robbing the writing skills from young learners.
Here in Uganda,you cannot find a child at six years when she/he knows how to use a computer and this has not been affecting us -
@paulschoe I would appreciate a scientific source.

I like your observation that "Being able to see and read a large double-page spread in one go, including illustrations & graphics, really mattered. '

I don't have one ready. That is why in the first reply I provided a link towards my source for this on LinkedIn.

#Education #Reading@paulschoe having taken two kids through this ”digital native” era, which basically just amounted to giving them iPads and laptops and believing that would magically transform into relevant tech skills, I’m happy for future parents who don’t have to do pen and paper writing exercises at home with their kids after school. The Swedish school system has, for a long time, been a mess and needed a bit less blue-eyed , ”back to basics” strategy.

I don't know and only slightly care. Different countries use different strategies to ensure that children in their country reach their potential. There is no one-size-fits-all.
Historical developments and experience determine a lot what method of distribution is used in a country for distributing school materials.
