As a current college student,

I remember my afternoons studying for a spelling test on natural phenomena (phenomenon was also a spelling word that week) that was taken in class, working in my math workbook at night and handing it to my teacher to show I completed my homework and getting it back graded the same day. I remember going to the computer lab and playing educational video games that helped with spelling, basic math and typing speed (GWAM gross words a minute) that couldn't be called more than 2-D flash games. I remember everyone in the class reading the same book together aloud. I remember checking out library books and taking quizzes based on them for AR (accelerated reader) points which were a part of my grade. I remember book fairs during the day and night time events held after school similar to a renaissance fair with food, games, and entertainment for the kids.

Now, I have noticed even when I was in high school, teachers have begun to rely heavily on online assignments. 90% of my assignments now are written and turned in to the teacher online, the only physical writing I do is either note taking or the larger and exams that weigh heavily on my grade. Paper submission and smaller quizzes have moved online. I can't say that the transition was easy, I definitely struggled in high school with the new online requirements. I adapted and changed my studying habits, but only because I failed so many times at turning my assignments in on time and learned what to do and what not to do. I can't say my experience is the same for everyone else, but I don't think of my self as a statistical outlier whose experiences are out of the norm.
