| Both paths will reach the same destination |
Recently, I attended a conference where
a presenter suggested offering students various entry points for
engagement to a lesson. Some students will not check in to a lesson
unless you find that key that unlocks their interest. While listening
to this presenter an image of a road map came to mind. Two students
will approach the same destination but one may take a direct path
while another takes a more meandering path. Is either right? Or are
both equally valid for a child's progress. I am grateful to this
presenter for reminding me to help students find ways to check into a
lesson. Technology offers many opportunities for engagement. The
presenter's sample of teaching vocabulary for bicycle and having a
building behind the digital image with another word in a child's
native tongue may spark interest. This concept fascinates me. I hope
in coming days to work with our teacher's to provide some such
varying stop signs along the road to help students make connections
to the lesson and/or assignment. Do you provide opportunities for
students to engage on their own playing field along the way to your
destination of knowledge acquisition?
