Feel free to use whatever. Low tech sometimes works great. Physical learning helps me so much. I know at Immersion they had us move into different quadrants for our learning styles and the physical nature of being there in space instead of just looking at it on a screen or sheet of paper made the lesson much more personal.

I really love this post. I might have to use and adapt some of these ideas. I’ve found some of my favorite instruction was when I was introducing topic ideas and research questions to students and we used magnet clips on the white/black board with the country names and facts/categories on old hanging files (with correct answers inside) for a simple Price-Is-Right-esque matching game. I never expected to get the level of engagement I did! I ended up having to skip some video watching to accommodate their interest in the low-tech activity.
