“The Paper and Packaging Board recently released a national study surveying 3,200 students, parents and educators and found that despite the increase of technology in the classroom, paper has staying power. The report, titled the 2015 Annual Back-to-School Report, found that not only do a majority of students carry paper products, they prefer them as well. “[M]ore than 90 percent of students carry paper items every day. 94 percent of students say it’s easier to concentrate while reading a paper copy than a digital version,” the Board said in a statement. The report also suggested that the increase of digital technology has not diminished the importance of learning on paper, but rather has made it stronger.”(more)
