I am a first time college student at the age of 48 and I found that it is much better to use the page flags when I am working on an assignment. I feel more organized and less stressed. The different colors are great! Post it Flags are a MUST for students and teachers as well. I actually had several others ask me where I got them and I have told them proudly!
I use Post-it flags on a daily basis, not only to call attention to text that needs editing, but also to alert other to specific areas of interest. Couldn't live without them.
I like the flag label to mark a section or mark the area closest to what I have to review. I don't like writing on them with pen because the ink smeers. Perm marker works well but on such a small area you need a fine tip one. The adhesive is strong enough to stay where I put it. Even if I have to page thru the document several times.
These are great for highlighting in my expensive textbooks, because when I sell my books back at the end of each semester I can go back and UN-highlight, which ups the value of my book. There are only two things that I would like to see happen with these flags: 1) 1/4" would be awesome, as 1/2" is too wide for highlighting a single line in a book, and 2) removable highlighter 'tape' dispensed like correction tape (or "White-Out") would be even better!
This product is a great accessory for all teachers. I have used these to keep places which I need to hold until I teach my lessons. These are great and I will continue to use them everyday.
