Learn Better From Handwriting or Typing?

Technology has constantly been on the rise over the pass century reaching and stimulating almost everyone in the United States and the world because of its connectivity and popular demand.

Technology has also found itself into the classroom, so much that schools wanted to discontinue cursive handwriting to focus more on typing. Wow, I saw this as a digital age concern. Would the students even learn how to sign a check or there name?

I was not the only person concerned with the elimination of cursive handwriting in schools, Indiana University neuroscientist Karin Harman James, shared my same feelings about the situation. 

She researched the role of handwriting in the learning process. Her finding we not surprising to a fan of the study, like myself. As it turns out, when words are printed via handwritten, creates the formation of the literacy system used for reading. 

I hope the finding in James research influences schools to reconsider eliminating cursive handwriting.
