Something I really support and I believe helped many people is digital notebooks. So how these work is basically instead of having the physical notebook itself, students would have the book inside their device. They can either download it or access it on the website of the school. I think it really helps because it minimizes the weight the students need to carry along with them. So imagine you need to study and instead of carrying your physical notebook and the subjects notebook, you can just carry your device where you can split the screen to annotate the book and to read the curriculum. It solved the problem of the heavy weights in the student’s backs and the deforestation problem we are facing nowadays. We all know that many people are cutting down trees to get paper and print books. Now I do believe this is slowly decreasing as the digital e-books, as the e-books are being more common between people. So instead of cutting down trees and wasting the ink, people can just access the curriculum on a small device.
