I really enjoyed this article. I think that it is a great comparison. I am a special ed. teacher for a 3-5 autism class. I use a lot of visual and hands-on activities with my students. We always use KWL charts and graphic organizers in language arts. This really helps my students "see" the content and organize their thoughts. I have graphic organizers for every genre of writing and the students love them. I use manipulatives and games for math. The kids think that they are just playing, but games are great learning tools. I have games for elapsed time, fractions, decimals, and money. I look forward to hearing what other teachers use in their classrooms!
