    I’d be happy to clarify thinking dispositions and thinking routines in person with you, and anyone else interested in meeting up. Let me know!

    I was so glad you fixed the issue of embedding tweets yourself. Way to go! Now you’ve found a community you can connect with. Keep connecting.

    Hiya Marisa! I see you are using the 4Cs thinking routine (Ritchart et al 2011) to prompt student thinking. Might I share some thoughts here for discussion?

    For the 1st C, I might ask instead “What connections do you draw between this video and your own life or other learning experiences?”

    It’s terrific that you are using thinking…[Read more]

      Thank you Yin! Agreed & appreciated. That question gets to the heart of the matter, considering themselves personally & outside stimuli.

      The structure & simplicity are great benefits of the 4C’s. Scaffolding is a great way to put it!

    Online discussions are worth a lifetime’s inquiry, to me anyway. I have to coach my students to write blog comments for each other. You can find it here: http://rampages.us/clearthinking/how-to-give-blog-comments/

    I think rubrics serve a purpose in assessments, if we use them judiciously to guide student understanding of performance. Frequently, my students will ask, “Is this correct? Am I good enough? …” These all have their roots in teaching that has focused on the punitive use of grades but it will be a long story that I don’t intend to discuss here.…[Read more]

    These sketchnotes are lovely. However, there seems to be a misreading and disconnect somewhere. We need to discuss what the question for this assignment is about.

    Grace, I wonder if you might consider using questions that connect ideas to students’ thinking to achieve the goal of understanding. Refer to http://www.visiblethinkingpz.org/VisibleThinking_html_files/03_ThinkingRoutines/03d_UnderstandingRoutines/ConnectExtendChallenge/ConnectExtend_Routine.html

    Let me know what you think. 🙂

      Hi Yin, Thank you so much for the information. ‘Connect’, ‘Extend’, and ‘Challenge’ are good examples of class discussion I think. Will try to use the examples for a class discussion. Thanks!

    To see the world with new “lenses” is a great metaphor for adopting a new perspective. Well done, Emily. Whether they are sunglasses with black lenses, rose-colored lenses, or something else…

    Communication is the lifeblood of team work and much of life. Our whole lives are spent around getting our communication right.

    You did some…[Read more]

    Your reflections are thoughtful and cover several areas. It provides evidence of the readings you have completed and how your thinking has shifted, in some ways. You effectively document new connections you have made to your own thinking. Good documentation skills are evidenced. *Thumbs up*

    In fact, Michalko’s quote slipped me and thanks to…[Read more]

    Good story. If only you knew. The window washing was done at a hospital in Singapore. I shot it during a very difficult time in life. Same with the kid at the hospital canteen. Snow? In Syracuse. Picnic? At Maymont.

    Your pose and smile, everything, reminds me of Wonder Woman. In fact, to me this pic shows you up as a doppelgänger for Lynda Carter.

    Olivia, a macro high-level story?

      I actually dressed up with Tye last Halloween as Wonder Woman and he was Superman! I’ll have to show you a picture! I’ll share it on Twitter!

    Olivia, that is what you are supposed to have done. Take the concept and visualize it using multiple metaphors. The examples I gave in Module 6 provided some level of expectations:

    Create sketchnotes to visualize metaphors for ONE of the following concepts: learning, diversity, technology, college life.
    Don’t worry about your drawing. Just d…[Read more]

    You have 1 metaphor. Again, we’ll have to clarify this in our Hangout tonight.

    P.S. You have time to polish up and revise your posts.

    Olivia, do I assume that you created this gif since you didn’t attribute this to anyone else? (It’s a great gif by the way!)

    I’m not so clear about the Headlines routine you mentioned. You were asked to use the Headlines routine to write this reflection. 🙂 Ummmm… we’ll talk tonight.

    For all the questions, I’d encourage you to probe so that the interviewees don’t just answer Yes/No. Ask, “Why is that so?” “What makes you say so?”

    Intriguing ideas. Remember to incorporate different types of media to add richness to your explanations. For example, you could upload a picture of your interviewee onto this web 2.0 software and it will turn it into a talking picture. http://blabberize.com/

    Ideas, ideas.

    I’m glad you were able to weave the pictures into another theme about the dark night which ends in daybreak. Some dark tones (I think my favorite is Lipman-Wulf’s), but isn’t it good to know that weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning? At least the hope that it will be so. Hang in there!
