The Illusion of Choice

In this episode of the Digital Learning Podcast, Matt and Holly discuss the concept of choice and voice in education. They explore how some teachers give students too many choices, which can take away from their voice and agency. They suggest that while choice and voice are important, to empower students, teachers need to move away from making all the choices themselves and allow students to take control of their own learning. They argue that this is the key to student-centered learning and giving students more agency.   Resources:
