When you see the light switch on with your children, you know it will all be okay. Tonight I watched my creative, clever son, see homework in a whole new light when he chose to do his presentation with PowerPoint. He is only seven. He is a boy. He is keenly aware that he has to do things three different ways in math - when he knows the answer, and does not get why. He is right, but he still has to do the three ways.
So tonight, he prepared a PowerPoint presentation without any help other than to show him how to use the program. He searched out images, pasted them in the file and resized them with presicion. He took a break for dinner and was so eager to return to finish.
We explained how to present and he wowed us! He told us that this was the best homework ever. He will shine tomorrow.
