EXTENDED HEAD SHOT David Rose with GRAPHIC: David H. Rose, Chief Scientist of Cognition & Learning, CAST
Dr. Rose: At CAST we think about then, three kinds of flexibility that match up to those neural networks that I talked about. So first we need flexibility to provide multiple [GRAPHIC appears below: Recognition Network, Provide multiple representations] representations to the recognition system, multiple ways of presenting information so that kids who are quite different in the ways that they can most easily take in information [GRAPHIC fades] are accommodated.
CLOSER HEAD SHOT of Dr. Rose: Secondly, for the strategic networks [GRAPHIC appears below: Strategic Network, Offer multiple means of expression], we need to make sure that kids have multiple ways in which they can express themselves. There’s no perfect simple way.
WIDE HEAD SHOT of Dr. Rose: So we need to make sure that there are alternatives, um, [GRAPHIC fades] built into the ways in which we ask kids to express themselves.
HEAD SHOT of Dr. Rose: And thirdly, um, again we have individual differences in the way in which students are engaged. Have we provided multiple means [GRAPHIC appears: Affective Network, Provide multiple means of engagement] of engagement? Um, I gave the example of novelty can be very off-putting to some students and very engaging and enticing to others, so we need to make sure that we don’t think that there’s, [GRAPHIC fades] just providing a lot of novelty is the way to engage students.
