When we went full remote last school year, we have learned much about what is necessary for students to have a high-quality education using technology. Our district has taken this into consideration, and has purchased new Chromebooks with touchscreens for our students. This move will help students navigate their school device in a manner that feels familiar to their knowledge-base, and will take into consideration our little ones who have yet to develop fluent typing skills. Having touchscreen Chromebooks alone, however, doesn't take into consideration all students navigating through art-making in a developmentally-appropriate manner, and using drawing programs with a trackpad has led to both frustration and anxiety in students as it pertains to work outcomes.
Using a stylus will bridge the motor skill gap between the knowledgeable student, and the limitations of their toolbox; Styluses feel natural to our students' art-making, and will break down a barrier to their creative process.
