[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. Fine motor coordination in middle grades is very lacking. My new 3rd and 4th graders have kindergarten penmanship and coloring skills. A small handful of very mindful students are writing legibly and fewer still writing legibly and quickly. For all the "typing is also fine motor" people, we just spent over a year doing that and now parents want us off screens in the classroom. [/quote] As she types this….! Coloring and penmanship? What kind of typing did they do on an iPad? There’s no keyboard. I’m a high school teacher. They used computers before this, and they will do so after, in college and in their lives beyond school. As a secondary teacher, I could care less about their penmanship, nor their ability to color. Can they compose a decent sentence or paragraph? Much more important. Maybe focus there.[/quote]
