>when I started college, a third of the class didn't even know touch typing

At least 3 of my lecturers didn't want me using my laptop in class. One cited the, "You learn more writing with pen and paper" crap.

This didn't apply to me cos I hate my handwriting - thus don't want to read what I've handwritten. I actively colored my headlines, underlined, emphasized or even completely rewritten (in my own words) key areas on OneNote.

I also used my Nook simple touch ebook reader when reading for tests and exams for complete focus.

>My first grade daughter knows how to draw well but can't use a mouse

If you're using windows, get her the game LowPoly 3D Art Paint by Number. It's a fun coloring game, mouse only.
