Students should be allowed to type out their work.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction:
Every student loves to type out work on their computer, chromebook, tablet or even IMac. What if students were banned from typing on their precious device though? Students need access to digital devices to get their work done quickly. Typing is an easier method to read, and it is the 21st century where we have grown up surrounded by digital devices.
Body:
If you were not allowed to type out your work you would not be able to write on a document - like this one. You wouldn't be able to create a slideshow or in many cases have access to read-write, and text to speech apps that help students get their ideas down quickly. Having access to a digital device amplifyś the learning that students receive and share with others.
Handwriting and knowing how to write your letters is very important, particularly for new entrant students. You need this skill to fill out important documents such as applying for a license, or filling out job applications. However, this is a very small percentage of documents. What if your handwriting was illegible? People would struggle to read what you wrote. Being able to type eliminates this problem.
Students don't like writing on books or paper. Therefore, students are more likely to get bored and probably get no motivation to do anything while the writing block continues. This is our reality. We have grown up in a digital world, where we don't even know what pen and paper writing was like traditionally. It's weird to imagine going back to that.
Conclusion:
Learning important skills such as handwriting is very important. It helps recognise letters and words. We need this as we first come into school. However, I believe it is not needed as you get older. We now live in a digital world that needs us to be able to type our words and thoughts.
