On Friday, we did our first writing activity on the chromebooks. Now, obviously, I do not think that our chromebooks should replace paper and pencil all the time. The students need to learn how to FORM the letters correctly, and write within the given lines. However, allowing the students to use their computers to write at least some of the time definitely gives them a differentiated lesson. Students for whom the act of handwriting is a struggle now have a way of expressing their ideas without letter formation or hand cramping causing a roadblock. This activity proved to be an enjoyable one for the students, and with a few modifications, for me as well.
