Ah, The Importance of Metaphors
In an earlier post, I remarked about a blog post by John Spencer (Don't Let Them Take Pencils Home). I recently learned that I completely missed the point! The post was not about PENCILS-- it was about COMPUTERS (of course, we're in EDM).
In a recent post, Mr. Spencer outlines the importance of metaphors, explaining that as confusing as they are, they may eventually lead to clarity. I think this is an interesting approach to teaching. I may have to adopt this in my own classroom. Well, I'll be an English teacher, so metaphors will be present quite often.
