Flexible learning allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose how they want to represent their learning or remediate it. Currently my students are limited to five laptops that are on a loan basis only available when not in use. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their learning. My students are noticeably more engaged in their work and less disruptive of their peers when they are given a choice of how they learn and show their learning. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional options on how to access content and how to represent their mastery. This is already difficult for some because of their disabilities. I have seen how choice can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
