By writing, you generally remember things better than by typing. Although typing is faster, the slower pace of writing and the fact that you are physically (motorically) engaged with your hands means that you are more consciously involved, activating your brain more. You have to think more, and therefore you remember it better. For example, use the Cornell method. The study showed that students who took notes by hand remembered more of the lesson in a test taken half an hour later and also scored higher on comprehension questions about the learning material.
