As I watch this new generation of students communicate with their technological devices, I ask myself - how well do they write? It seems that the more advanced a student is with their gaming devices, the less legible their handwriting becomes.
In the field of education here in the United States, we have focused less on handwriting and more on keyboarding. Although I believe that keyboarding is an important skill, I also believe that the ability to properly grasp on to a writing utensil to jot down a name, number, or even an address to be quite an important task. I am not saying that you need to write elegantly, but sufficiently enough so that your peers can understand what you are saying.
