ABSTRACT

One benefit of choice is its ability to meet the needs of so many different students. Another benefit of choice is its ability to address different learning styles and ultimately better assess what students understand about the content being studied. Increased student focus and persistence is another benefit of offering choice. When students are making choices in the activities they wish to complete, they are more focused on the learning that is needed to create their choice product. Many a great educator has referred to the idea that the best learning takes place when students have a desire to learn. Some students have a desire to learn anything that is new to them; others do not want to learn anything unless it has interest for them. Inexperienced "choice-makers" may need guidance on how to select the option that is right for them.
