Every student can learn, just not on the same day, or the same way.

I thought I would share this article called

Talking-Pen, a multi-modal approach to learning

This is part of what Kirsten and I talked about during our last class meeting.

  2. Hmmm this is one I've never heard of! Very interesting though. I especially liked the idea that it could be useful for students who are ELL, and the pen can talk either in English or in their native language. The charts looked useful, and I liked that the words would be correctly translated, pronounced, and also defined, which is important. The only problem I might see is students possibly becoming overly dependent on something like this? Lastly, I think it’s great for students who have trouble either reading or comprehending directions. The pen would be able to remind them of what they should be doing so the teacher would not have to repeat it, and also the student would not be off task.
