Knowledge, Learning, Community

Not directly relevant to e-learning, but as I often talk of how words cannot express what we are feeling, consider this use of non-word entities to express feelings: masks, cards, book covers, magazine covers, bones, of the body, and more. If I say "I'm feeling like a rib today" (and am wearing a Godzilla mask) what am I saying? The technique may be used for special-needs students, who do not have words to express what they feel, but we should think about how it applies to students with other special needs, who have only words to express what they feel.
