PROS
HANDWRITTEN DIGITAL
CONS
● Some judges prefer it● Organization -- all of the team

● One person working at a time● Handwriting can be hard to read● Manually print out & insert photos● Unless you are VERY TALENTED,
it will probably be somewhat messy

● Easier to share (Google Docs!)● Insert photos easily● Usually neater● You can go back and change/add
things easily (especially photos and diagrams)
● Less “organic” to some people because entries can be edited easily
● Color printing costs more● Lost forever if computer/Google
Drive dies
