I should dig it up, but I remember there’s a connection between handwriting and memory. Handwriting can help reinforce ideas and commit it to memory better than typing.

Handwriting activates a broader network of brain regions involved in motor, sensory, and cognitive processing. Typing engages fewer neural circuits, resulting in more passive cognitive engagement. Despite the advantages of typing in terms of speed and convenience, handwriting remains an important tool for learning and memory retention, particularly in educational contexts.
