Control

Enable students to control their own learning by giving them opportunities to plan their learning goals and choose their own strategies for reaching those goals. Below are some tools that students can use to control their own learning in the context of open literacy activities and tasks. These tools focus on helping students plan, organize and create strategies for their learning goals.

"The visual way to explore and understand words, numbers and concepts." "Kidspiration provides a cross-curricular visual workspace for K-5 learners. Students use visual tools combining pictures, text, numbers and spoken words to develop vocabulary, word recognition, comprehension, reasoning and problem solving skills. Kidspiration works the way students think and learn and the way teachers teach. As students make visual connections, they build fundamental skills in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Kidspiration offers activities in all curriculum areas, so students use visual learning naturally and confidently."
