L’Académie des sciences vient de publier un rapport (.pdf) sur la relation des enfants aux écrans (disponible également sous la forme de livre aux éditions Le Pommier), un rapport qui tord le cou à nombre d’idées reçues sur le sujet et fait le point sur les connaissances scientifiques, éducatives et neurobiologiques.

(...) l’Académie a souhaité éclaircir les bases scientifiques de nos usages excessifs des écrans (voir les vidéos des présentations). Un rapport qui a voulu insister pas seulement sur les effets délétères des écrans (...) mais surtout sur les effets positifs de notre exposition aux écrans et notamment de l’exposition des plus jeunes aux écrans.

- Culture du livre et culture des écrans : l’indispensable complémentarité
- Ce ne sont pas les écrans qui sont négatifs, c’est le fait d’être laissé seul devant
- Faisons confiance à l’enrichissement cognitif de notre environnement

- Le potentiel cognitif des jeux vidéo

Don't Burn Your Books---Print Is Here to Stay

Don't Burn Your Books---Print Is Here to Stay | Must Read articles: Apps and eBooks for kids | Scoop.it
The e-book had its moment, but sales are slowing. Readers still want to turn those crisp, bound pages, writes Nicholas Carr.

 

" The growth in e-book sales is slowing markedly. And purchases of e-readers are actually shrinking, as consumers opt instead for multipurpose tablets. It may be that e-books, rather than replacing printed books, will ultimately serve a role more like that of audio books—a complement to traditional reading, not a substitute."

@CotCotCotApps's insight:

Nicholas Carr, a 2010 Pulitzer finalist with “The Shallows,” (exploring the distracting nature of digital culture), writes here an interesting piece about ebooks and the unexpected resilience of traditional books! 

 

... which is not contradictory to our core belief that ebooks and apps are no direct competitors to pbooks but rather co-exist with other reading format, complement or extend the reading experience. 

 

eBooks and apps are no revolution per se but an evolution: "E-books, in other words, may turn out to be just another format—an even lighter-weight, more disposable paperback. That would fit with the discovery that once people start buying digital books, they don't necessarily stop buying printed ones."
