Peer Response #3

Your Blog Post 3 – EDCI337 about the mental health toolkit was really good. You explained clearly how open ended tasks can actually make students feel stuck if they don’t have a clear starting point. It makes sense that someone might just pick random ideas to get it over with if the work feels too broad.

I also liked that you focused on privacy. Giving students a list of examples to choose from is a great way to use UDL ideas and letting them keep their personal stuff private helps them feel safe. Using CTML tricks like segmenting by breaking the toolkit into smaller parts would definitely help stop the brain from getting overwhelmed. That balance of structure and safety helps make the activity feel more inclusive and supportive for everyone.

Thanks for sharing. Your post helped me see how a bit of extra help can turn a stressful assignment into something actually useful for real life.
