25. Motivation

a student's drawing accompanied by symbols

There are many ways of writing: using on-screen grids, overlay keyboards,
or simply co-creating a document with a helper. In many situations,
provided the ideas and content come from the student,
it really does not matter who presses the keys.

In this example the boy writing this story was highly motivated to see his words illustrated, and then to see the whole story and his drawings bound into a book.
