The brain reacts differently when you use paper and not a computer. Studies show that students’ performance on tests improves when they take notes on paper instead of laptops, and kids who learn to write by hand are better at recognizing letters than those who learn to write by typing.
Paper and pencil simply seem to help students learn by encouraging them to do more to show their work and thus manage cognitive load. It helps students to do more “thinking about their thinking.” New Study Shows That Students Writing Down Math Problems Increases High School Math Outcomes

Teaching our kids everything on computer is making them dependent on digital eco system and taking away their confidence. It is convenient as a busy parent to give them a digital device to practice math or any other exercise, but as a parent my responsibility is to impart kids with mental strength, knowledge, and confidence that they can do everything without being dependent on any gadget.
