About me

Hello my name is Esther Pearson. In my spare time I enjoy writing, fitness, and cooking. I
have published several books over the past 8 years. My family and I also enjoy
the New England activities that are seasonal. These include apple picking in
the autumn, vacationing in warm climates during the winter, gardening in the
spring, and outdoor sports outings in the summer.

What catches a Learners' Attention?

I am contemplating what is the best method to engage learners. The first thought that comes to mind, is to use a scaffolding technique such that you take a topic in which a student has an interest and then build a project or assignment around it. What do you think of that idea? Do you have other ideas?

Determining Revision Improvements

In some instances students are asked to make revisions or improvements on their essay assignments. What techniques do you use to check the revisions have been made? Are their file comparisons or editing tracking features that you use?
