Polling my colleagues in our OT Department, here are some on-line sites that can be used with a touch screen or computer mouse:
http://pbskids.org/ writerscontest/create-stories (you can use the story writing screen to create letters/words for the student to trace in a different color, or type in a word and enlarge it for them to trace with the "pencil" or "marker" tool
And, if you are purchasing software for your iPad, here are some recommended apps:
Little Writer's App (Alligator apps)
Letter School
Touch and Write
TV teacher--apps for lower case (if you have extra funds you might want to check out the entire TV teacher series about handwriting; several of our OTs love it)
Write My Name
Unfortunately, most of the graphics connected with these on-line sites and apps are pretty juvenile, which doesn't match up well with the age of my high-school students. However, many of my students love animated movies and cartoons on TV so maybe they won't mind seeing the images as much as I think they might.
