13. Brainy Bits/Pedagogy Brainy Bits  – For sense and meaning, in order for this to make sense to students and have meaning I would explain the reasoning for the lesson revolving around colors. Once they begin understanding their colors they will be able to understand why we are creating these small projects and assignments. Pedagogy  Concrete Random - The curiosity of learning about colors and which objects have colors will fascinate them. These students will enjoy independent study opportunities with a teacher.  Abstract Random - The Abstract Random learners will benefit from this project since it is an online based video screening.
