Those are meaningful tips for better classroom management becuase it provides to us the experience of other people taking control of the classes. In this case I can observe how the teacher stimulated his students report cards and progress reports in order to give them the opportunity to not be seen as grades, it is better to be seen as person in development.

As a English and History pre-service teacher I really encourage the reading of books and for students to search and guide their own learning experiences. However, as this unit is focusing on the digital literacy aspect of learning, reading online and through electronic devices can be as effective as a physical copy. Many of takeaways from the article, such as lower stress and increased vocabulary, is transferable between mediums and can have a seminal impact on the development of digital skills and literacy skills.
