Is Handwriting Still Important in Computing Lessons? 🖊️💻

In a world full of keyboards, screens, and now AI, do students still need to pick up a pen? 

In this episode of At the Chalk Face, Craig and Dave dive into the surprisingly important role of handwriting in learning – even in computer science!

From GCSE to A-Level, they discuss:
Why handwriting helps reinforce learning through the “eyes–brain–hand” loop ✍️
How AI and typing might be making students less engaged with the thinking process 🤔
Practical ways teachers can bring handwriting back into lessons without losing the benefits of technology 💡

Whether you’re a teacher curious about effective study strategies or just wondering if your own handwriting skills are worth keeping, this is an eye-opening chat you won’t want to miss.
