What goes well: Students enjoy coming up with funny
reminding words that are meaningful to them. They can be very creative with the
reminding words, stories, and pictures.
What needs improvement: Students struggle with vocabulary, so any task with the purpose of learning new words can be a challenge to make seem interesting and engaging.
Ideas for adjustments: I find the device very useful for the self-study step, but sometimes it’s also good to get away from the “worksheet” aspect of it. We have constructed LINCS tables on the interactive smart board, on white boards, and on posters in table groups.
