Digital Books in Schools: Benefits and Challenges

Posted on Jan 20, 2025 in English

In my view, digitized books are a good option that should be tested in schools.

In the first place, having access to your books anytime makes learning easier. Also, interactive elements help students learn faster.

Furthermore, digital books will help students’ backs. In addition to this, most students claim to have back pain for this reason.

Opponents of this view say that textbooks minimize inequalities between students. Many families can’t afford new technologies and that poses many problems.

To sum up, I find the progress of technology fascinating. And I think that with good use, digital books can be very useful to the students.
