I do not think we will come to a world where handwriting is not important. We must sign our names on documents, teach children to sign their names write grocery lists and so much more where it is easiest to just handwrite. Or at least I think so. I think we could fix this problem by blogging one week and the next write with pencil and paper. That way, students would have to spell without the red underlining their misspelled word. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378768977722865920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103755278597718901.post-15628135122941209742014-03-24T10:21:47.281-05:002014-03-24T10:21:47.281-05:00Hi Caitlyn!

I watched Mrs. Cassidy's video and I agree with you that it is amazing how young students can use technology! I also like that students are learning manners by using technology, and that parents can see their student's work at anytime. However, one of my concerns is that the students are learning to write by using a computer instead of pencil and paper. Are you concerned that children are not getting the handwriting practice they need? Or are we coming to a time where children do not need to learn handwriting because they will be doing everything on a computer?Sarah Richersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10436283383606905839noreply@blogger.com
