“Tools, Gadgets, Machines”

My creation would be something that could turn works (classical Literature), difficult math problems, the periodic table, something from each course that may be challenging to students into something that could be shaped and morphed to something that was a little easier to understand without losing concepts. Like taking an Haiku poem and transforming it into a graphic novel, the students would have new measures to access this information without the challenges of the format that it is in. A lot of time teachers have to find/make this themselves which can be time consuming when you may only need it for one students benefit. This also allows students to have different means that are engaging to them. There is a new sense of choice when the child chooses the format they must read in. Taking something that has a difficult exterior and making the contents in a more student friendly packaging helps more students become engaged with whatever is being taught in class. This program will ensure that students have a choice in how they obtain the information, even when the option of choice seems much harder to present as a teacher. It helps access all learners, visual, auditory, etc, in a way that merely just having on paper couldn’t. It helps the parents not have to pester their student to read or do something that they have no clue how to read either. Preferable this means would be online as well as hard copy for the students who don’t have means to access the internet but still want to read the book in a different light. It also allows for the students who like that traditional method to have access to it.
