I can’t use yellow highlighters. All of the other colors are just line, but it’s the yellow ones that work against me. Please allow me to explain.
Starting in sixth grade I struggled in school; by the time I was in high school I was bottoming out as a C student. So one of my parents had me watch a series of educational videos called, “If There is a Will There is an A.” The only thing I remembered and took away from those videos is about how to properly use a yellow highlighter; to use it as a tool to ‘highlight’ the important parts of my work. By the time I was done with the series, all of my yellow highlighting had worked against me. I couldn’t even look at one. Anytime that I used a yellow highlighter it did the exact opposite of its original intent – I ended up ignoring those parts that were actually meant to be what I focused on.
So, why am I telling you this?
Simple. Aside from wanting to vent about my dislike for the yellow highlighters in the work, this article is meant to ‘highlight’ if you will how one specific tool or concept isn’t going to work for everyone. And this is valuable information for teachers and learners to understand. For the teacher you need a plethora of tricks and tips to aid your students in learning. For the learner, you need to realize not every concept is going to work for you, that’s okay, Instead, take the time to try different techniques until you find the right fit for what does work.

Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Many thanks
