Some
students think taking notes by hand is too tiring, so they use digital (数码的)cameras to take pictures of the
words that their teachers write on the blackboard. Some even use digital
recorders to record what teachers say in class.
The children
are clever to make use of technology (技术). They might think there are too many notes to take. They might
also think that teachers write too fast. They are just trying to find ways to
make things easier. But so digital cameras or recorders really make taking
notes easier?
Not really!
Before you can read the notes on your digital cameras, there are a lot of
things to do. You have to find a computer to download the photos. You also have
to find a printer to print the photos out.
To listen to
the sounds from the digital recorder is even harder. There is usually a lot of
noise with what you have recorded. You will have to listen to it several times
before everything is clear.
In fact, taking
notes by hand really helps you to remember and understand what you are learning.
You only need to write down key points. You don't have to write down everything.
