To derive the most from Visual Bridges such as Today at School or Last
Night at Home, it is essential for the people on both ends to understand
the purpose. It does take time to develop Visual Bridges and it takes
time to participate in the communication that they generate. The rewards
in student communication can far outweigh the time and effort devoted.
This activity may not look like traditional homework, however, it
will be an effective tool to help develop the social and communication
skills that are essential for successful adulthood. Ultimately that
is the goal.
