Topic:  Major distraction:' School dumps iPads, returns to paper textbooks

Notes:

• e-book era over and returned to the old-fashioned hard copies.
• Students preferred pages to screens.
• Teachers found that iPads were distracting and did not improve their technology skills.
•  Understanding is better when printed instead of digital

Summary:
As most schools are using iPads for electronic textbooks, one school is going back to using paper textbooks. Students at this school say that they prefer books to screens and printed books are easier to navigate through than ebooks. The teachers believe that the iPads are distracting and they didn't improve the students technology skills. The teachers also say that they believe students learn better when they are using more senses to research and taking notes.
Another study has shown that understanding improves when reading from printed text. They believe that this is because students are more comfortable with hard copies which helps to retain and understand what they have read. Also that the students didn't get as involved with digital text.


Reflections:
This article shows that old-fashioned hard copy books could be better for students to learn, understand and retain what they have read.  Both the students and the teachers at this school say that they prefer printed books to electronic books. I believe that if the students prefer printed text and the teachers say that the students learn more from hard copy textbooks, then they should phase out iPads

Topic:  Loyalty doesn't pay: Australians slugged with " lazy tax" of up to $2400 per year 

Notes:

• Increase the health insurance payments.
• Being loyal with the same insurance company doesn't help.
• People are lazy with looking around for cheaper options. 
• Stuck with same insurance company can cost more money.
• It's cheaper for insurance companies to keep their customers than trying to get new ones.

Summary:

from the 1st of April, health insurance payments will be increasing by 3.25 percent. This could cost customers as much as an extra $200 a month. Most people are lazy with their expenses and don't look around for cheaper options and just stay with the same company.
Being loyal with the same insurance company doesn't help. The insurance company won't tell you about ways that they can make it cheaper for you unless you ask them. They don't want to lose your business because it is cheaper for them to keep their customers than trying to find new ones.

Reflections:

After reading this article, I would say that people need to stop being lazy with their expenses and be aware of cheaper options and that they don't have to be loyal to the same company. They should look around regularly to find less expensive options and also talk to their current insurance company about cheaper options for them.
