Experience Producer Elise Canup talks about the power of writing, and shows off Frontier’s new Academy notebooks produced by Scout Books.
If you’ve ever participated in one of our workshops, you know how much we value putting pen to paper. Whether it’s jotting down thoughts in a notebook or working through complex problems using one of our custom-designed worksheets—our workshops take advantage of the power of writing. That’s not by chance.
Recent neuroscience suggests that slowing down and writing (rather than typing) fires up the brain, improving long term memory retention and increasing our ability to generate ideas. Scientists think that’s not only because we’re less distracted by notifications flying across the screen, but because writing by hand requires a deeper level of neurological processing. (You can read more about that research here and here.)
Since writing allows us to better comprehend and remember our thoughts, we feel it’s important to support those brain functions with the right tools. That’s why we are picky about our workshop materials. Our worksheets are created in-house by our content writers and designers, and we print everything on eco-friendly, recycled paper.
To print our new Frontier Academy notebooks, we’ve teamed up with Scout Books. Based out of Portland, Oregon, Scout Books crafts high quality custom notebooks right here in the USA using 100% recycled paper and Earth-friendly, vegetable-based inks. Their shop even runs on renewable energy. (You can read more about Scout Books here.)
