Education and Technology Integration

Started in January 2014, this innovative research project focuses on the practice of handwriting in primary schools. Due to the rapid spread and pervasive use of technological supports, normal writing activities as taking notes, writing messages or numbers are more and more brought about with the support of a keyboard rather than through handwriting. One of the effects of this loss of practice is a reduced ability to handle a traditional writing tool (a pen, a pencil) and easily use it. This difficulty is not simply a technical one since it also affects the cognitive domain, where the ability to express thoughts, opinions, ideas and feelings seems to be reduced as well, already in primary schools.
