5. Benefits to Student LearningorWhat’s the point? Accesses multiple intelligences and requires greater brain activity to create a MathCast “The net savvy group showed almost twice as much activity while online compared with reading a book....the web surfing task activated the same areas of the brain as reading, but in addition, the brain was involved in decision making, complex reasoning and vision detection.” From “I Live in the Future and Here’s How It Works” By Nick Bilton

7. Student Responses The mathcasts also tested us on how much we understood the subject, not just the formula. This is better in my opinion as it prepares us more. Digital learning allowed me to go at my own pace and not have to worry about people in the class that were faster than me and would make the class move on without me knowing because I was still working. Personally, I think I learn way better digitally on my own rather than in class with everyone else. I can be in my own space and go at my own pace.
