Learning is Learning

I'm trying to be mindful in my class of when learning is happening.

I had a student come up to me the other day and ask to print out their work on paper and use a highlighter instead of doing it online.

There was a part of me that wanted to insist that the student do it my way.

But if the student is learning, does the way they are learning it matter?

It took me a moment, but I said yes. 10 years ago I wouldn't have.
