When it comes to taking notes，what do you think is the best way：using a pen or typing on a computer keyboard？
    As digital devices （數(shù)碼設備） have played a main role in society， "keyboard activity is now often used for early handwriting，" a new study shows.The idea is that typing may be easier for young children.Some schools in Norway have become completely digital，says Audrey van der Meer，the new study's leader.However，she believes that young children should learn to manage a keyboard，and at the same time learn to write by hand successfully.She notes that although computer technology is often necessary today，using a pen activates （激活） more areas of our brain than a keyboard does.This is because writing needs complicated （復雜） movements that activate more areas of the brain.So that we can improve learning — and probably remember more — by handwriting our class notes.
    When we write，our brain needs to think about and bring back memories of the shape of each letter.We also need to use our eyes to watch closely what we're writing.And we need to control our hands to press a pen or pencil to write the different letters.All of this uses and connects more areas of the brain.Along the way，these processes appear to open the brain up for learning.She points out that taking notes by hand activates "visual （視覺） note-taking".Rather than typing blindly，the visual note taker has to think about what is important to write down.
    On the other hand，this study doesn't ask people to avoid digital devices.In fact，it points out that computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in many modern classrooms.Keyboarding also can be especially helpful for students with certain special needs，such as if they can't use their hands smoothly.
    But nearly all students will be improved by learning handwriting and drawing at an early age，the researchers now conclude.
