Print Books vs. E-books: Understanding How to Use Educational Materials in the Classroom
Recent discussions about the use of digital or printed teaching materials in the classroom have stirred up the educational landscape. After all, which is the best approach? According to experts, the challenge of educating future generations requires the adoption of a hybrid strategy—one that integrates the advantages of both analog and digital formats.
“If we could suddenly bring this up in a conversation with students—offering the best of both worlds—I have my physical book, where I write and maintain my fine motor skills, but I also have the digital version, which is part of my daily life,” says Marizane Piergentile, regional director of the Adventist Network of Greater ABC and the São Paulo Coast.
In an interview with Conexão Bett, the educator addresses the topic and suggests ways for print and digital media to coexist. “If teachers can bring these two worlds together—using digital technology to take students to places the physical world can’t reach, such as large libraries, classes in the metaverse, classes in experimental labs, 3D glasses… in short, a multitude of other possibilities. Because this current trend of physical and digital materials is just one more development, and in education we’ve been experiencing continuous changes, since our audience is constantly changing,” adds Marizane.
