Starting with Choice: Primary Classroom Implementations

In today’s rapidly changing world, children need to be in control of their learning. They need to be able to make decisions, and solve problems, and they need to be able to do this independently.  Providing student choice, no matter at what age, is an empowering, authentic way to enable learners.  While choice can be introduced at the simplest level, harnessing the power of technology (iPad, iPod device, or laptop), can transform the way children choose to learn and show their knowledge.  This chapter has been written to help you on your journey of providing your students with more choice, with the hopes that you too will see the transformational power of technology in a child’s hand.
