But after my first year in college I found that reading digital was much harder for me to retain.
And what about testing now new interactive digital books to help you out with the retention and the ability to quickly find and reference sections and make as many notes as you want in order that all the words in the book stick easier in your mind, etc.?
When trying to do the same thing in pdf or on my kindle, the extra details were lost and I would spend too much time trying to hunt for information I needed.
Yeah! actually there are a handful more you would like to check 'em out.
Thirdly, I can doodle when I'm stuck. This seems minor, but doodling is a good way to get your brain working again.
Oh! then, you could also try add some ZappAR to your doodles and multiply memory & retention ten fold. I bet you'll love it!! LoL
Cheers!! :)
Cool, thanks for the links. I've tried a number of interactive book formats. And I've no doubt that the videos and hyperlinks help some people, but I don't think it's for me. While exploring the Egypt book you linked, I kept finding myself trying to come up with counters, but the truth is it's not interesting to me. Even though the subject is interesting, I kept skimming over the text, clicking videos and then scrolling, playing a video and reading. It would probably be better with some training, but for me, dead tree books are not a problem.
I've played with ZappAR before (some lego packs I bought came with some scannable codes), but the idea of comics and picture books makes much more sense than how I've seen it used. This is something I'd like to see played around with a bit more.
