An object that represents teaching to me is Fidgets! Since I was young I have always been a fidgeter, and now seeing students learn better with something that was once viewed as “silly” is amazing.  I was known for doodling or even just “playing” with erasers; at one point I even had a zipper that fell off my backpack.  The zipper did not last long until the teacher found it and threw it out, but that zipper helped me learn more than I expected.  With research over the past couple of years, fidgets have boomed.  Not just because they can be an arrangement of small to large cute items but also because people learn better by keeping their hands busy.   I am one out of many that has benefited from this finding.  This is a great example of Pedagogy.  Some students could not be learning as well as some other students if a teacher didn’t find out why a student was doodling or playing with an eraser.  By digging into fidgeting and doing test studies on learning students with an arrange of ages you can see most of them do better with some sort of fidget over the populating that does not have them.  Now it is almost normal to have a fidget and you can find them almost anywhere but mostly in learning environments.
