I was talking to my S3 class the other week, and one of the girls revealed that she can text much more quickly than she can handwrite.  She didn’t get the chance to demonstrate, what with the school rule on mobile phones, but her friends confirmed the fact.  I don’t suppose that she is unusual.

Interesting.  I tend to take talk about mobile phones as the next big thing in education with a big pinch of salt, but I think I’ve based my cynicism on an assumption that the keypads are awkward, slow input devices.  Apparently that is not the case if you are 14 and female.

Stumble it!
