Teacher observes students' fine motor skills are underdeveloped due to excessive touchscreen use in lessons, and adding manual skill practice is discouraged; she avoids digital assignments despite the paperwork burden.
Existing educational software and lesson delivery focus on touchscreen interaction, which does not develop fine motor skills, and there is no integrated solution that combines digital learning with physical skill development. Schools may also discourage non-digital activities, viewing them as distractions.
Workarounds Described
- Teacher avoids putting assignments online and manages physical paperwork to encourage fine motor skills.
Implied Software Gaps
- A digital platform that combines academic content with printable or hands-on fine motor activities and tracks both types of progress would eliminate the need for paper-based tracking.
