E-Toys in Classroom Improves Handwriting Results

The results of this study need to be replicated in an independent testing environment, of course, but this item is illustrative in showing how technology is being tried in the classroom to improve some decidely non-technological skills, in this case, handwriting. Does the tool have to be used in an online environment? Could an online version of the tool be equally successful? We don't know yet, though I venture to predict that the answer to both questions is affirmative. As the results of these studies come in (and remember, empirical studies must be assessed only in the aggregate) we may find the evidence mounting against the criticism that physical skills, such as handwriting, cannot be taught online.
