e-book may not a perfect solution for the text book price issues and which also against the wish of most parents in HK, they try not let their kids use electronic gadgets frequently.
Just some of my observations from my son:
1. In senior high, text books really heavy, now he leaves hard copies at home for revision and homework, he downloaded the e-copy to the notebook and just a notebook and no need to bring 3-4 text books.
2. Nowadays, all notebook using LED and LCD technology, the effect on eyes are improved and not like CRT technology that you refer to when we're young.
3. Be practical, how's your kids doing research on projects, just hard copies or also leverage on Internet research. If using Internet as well, why treat it differently?
4. Eye protection is an issue and I also fully aware that, we need to coach them how to relax our eyes after using the computer for sometime. We also need to demonstrate as an example to them as well. Nowadays kids don't like our double standards, which happen all the time.
5. Some e-books have video, calculator and other value-added functions which really enhance the learning efficiency.
No right or wrong on this issue, just how you implement and monitor your kid's usage of those gadgets.
