I am tutoring a student on 7th grade math via zoom. I am using graphics tablet myself to write down my exposition.
My student solves problems on his (paper) notebook and tells me what he wrote/how he thought it out and I re-write it on the screen and make eventual corrections.
I have the feeling that it would benefit the lessons if I could see exactly what he is writing, so the simplest solution I can think of is that he would use a graphics tablet as well. The ones without screen are quite affordable.
For instance, we could correct any mistakes directly on the students work.
When going together through a problem or a concept, I often have the student fill in the gaps (asking him for what to write).
Again, I have the impression that it would be somehow better for the learning process, if he would have to write the answer instead of saying it.
But I'm not sure it's worth the try.
For one, it might take away some of the student's attention, because there's an extra effort he has to go through in order to write using it.
Secondly, maybe there's not much to gain if I see all that the student writes, after all, doing the writing is most important for him.
Do you have any experience with kids (age ~14) writing on graphics tablets? Do you think it might be worth the try?
