Mr Rogers versus Sesame Street

My issue with so many of these models is that I cannot start to visualize them from reading the articles or listening to the lecture. I start to have a cursory understanding though when I look at the examples. Usually when I see the examples the light bulbs go off and it starts to come together. But with Anchored Instruction, even when I saw the examples, I still could not get my head around it. It reminded me slightly of what it was like to watch Mister Rogers compared to what it was like to watch Sesame Street. The examples shown demonstrating this model, seem much more like Mr. Roger's in comparison to other models we have been seeing. Like other models we have discussed this seems to be much more geared towards elementary education. I could sees the value in using this model with students who can overstimulated if there too many audio or visual cues to process. Again, there was always something very calming about watching Mr. Rogers and that element popped out at me when I looked at these examples. Simple and easy to process. One tool though that I could see using with Anchored Instruction is Prezi. Prezi allows you to create a presentation where the viewer can move around at will. It would make it more Sesame Street than Mr. Rogers in that it would allow for more non-linear approach. Still, I am not sure when and if I would use this model with the students or participants I work with.
