The concept of the educational tool belt has been my favourite that I have encountered in the past while. I like it so much because it caters to and is personalized to the learner. It puts the learner in the driver's seat of their learning rather than being an accomplice in their goal achieving. Whatsmore, a tool can be anything that helps you learn, it doesn't have to be technological, it just has to help you. My action plan for EDPD 584 is to continue the use of this website by making tool belts for my students that they can access anytime, anywhere. Below is an example of such a tool belt designed for a fictional student.
