I was curious to see if practicing handwriting on the iPads would be more efficient than practicing with small chalkboards. In the past, I have used chalkboards, pieces of chalk, and wet sponges. I have to gather all of the supplies, pass them out, and wet the sponges. Often times the students complained because their boards were still wet when it was time to write a new letter. So, we tried doing the exact same handwriting practice using an app called Absolute Board. It turned out that not only did we practice more letters in one session, but the students were actually able to trace over their letters several times using different colors. I really like this app for drawing and writing because you can save the work you do right in the app. I also think it has the best color options and is very easy to use. We will definitely continue to practice our handwriting using Absolute Board.
