For the real joy of ink use a fountain pen for your writing.

This is very interesting. I am quite used to writing on the computer, but sometimes I simply settle in my creative space with a pen and a notebook. Writing is also important in the classroom. Taking notes brings better learning than taking photos of the teacher's presentation. I made an infographic for that to persuade students to take notes: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Why-take-notes-8988550
