Introduction
Should Tablets Replace Textbooks in K-12 Schools?
In this project, I will be researching about the use of textbooks and tablets in schools and the reason that people prefer either one of them. I will be stating some pros and cons of textbooks and tablets and also the reliability, validity and bias of the sources that I used for this project.

My Opinion
I don't agree with the idea of replacing textbook with tablets because I think textbooks are more safe than tablets. I think it is more safe because as I said in the above, tablets can cause health concerns like eye strain, headache, blurred vision and dry eyes if you . Also tablets can be hacked whether the tablet is used by really young students. And students can lose all their works and data.
Another reason I don't like about tablets is that they can sometime distract students by it's variety of things that you can do on them. I don't think it is the right thing to do to just give students a tablet each. They might be playing games or whether the teacher control those things and let them only access some educational apps, they will not be concentrating on teacher's instruction.
And I personally like textbooks and notebooks better because after finishing all the hard works using thick textbooks, I just feel really satisfied and pleased.
