Charting the Course of Teaching and Learning in a Networked World

Visible Thinking

We have been working with various tools to make thinking visible with our children. We use thinking routines, documentation, language of thinking, concept maps, thinking hats, and other tools with children 1 year old and older.

I wonder who else is working with visible thinking ideas.

What are you doing to foster thinking? Is it productive thinking? Is thinking being integrated to the curriculum? ... how?

Ana Maria - these sound fantastic. If you are interested I think these are important for the world to see. If you agree and make short videos and put them up on YouTube, I'll post them on the Future(s) Project. this leads right into critical thinking and much of the world is interested in how to increase that. I was in Bahrain (small country in the Arab gulf) last year and that was key to their questioning.

"The depth of your observations from last night is still resonating with me. I'm trying to think of another interview I've given where the questioner understood the material so well that he/she so regularly (and fluidly) went into new intellectual territory. I can't think of any. Pretty amazing. Thank you."
