Online reading can get difficult. To many students, online reading can come as a challenge because with computers comes many other distractions, such as music, Facebook, Twitter, etc. These things are obstacles that you do not find when reading out of a book or some other type of paper text. Also, the sources that you are reading from online may not always be reputable ones. When reading online, try to look at a few things. Is the site a reputable site? Is this an opinion based article or more informative based? This is going to help make a large difference in the matter of reputability when writing a professional essay.
Through personal experience, I know that being distracted while reading on the bright screen of your computer, is not hard to do. I found that downloaded study applications on my iPad, such as Notability, helped to keep me focused on what I was doing. Because you are in an application on your tablet, it is harder to get distracted by outside things. Also, with the Notability app, you can highlight important parts of the text or Power Point, make notes either with your finger or by typing it into a text box off to the side, and can organize different sections to help you better understand what you are reading. All of these things will help make students better. Online reading is tough, but by using all the great technology that we have at our fingertips in today’s world, we can all get through this together.
