Although this (albeit) beautiful art form is slowly becoming less and less popular, it remains an essential part of the learning process. According to The Educator, research proves that the physical act of “annotating during lessons can make a significant difference.” With this information in mind, how can we combine this kinesthetic experience while still moving our students into the technological world?

The major difference was that the experimental group also used an application (LetterSchool) on a tablet with a stylus. Findings from this study prove that including digital applications within instruction can enhance children’s handwriting skills. This may also lead to an overall increase in many fine motor skills.
