Abstract

Reporting on a series of workshops for students and with teachers undertaking professional development, this article shows how one little button can have many potential uses in teaching, particularly for understanding research strategies and writing practice. Referencing a story created around a specific button, the intention is that ideas are raised, which the reader can then interpret and transform into their own areas of practice.
