    Love this honest post from Aaron "This has certainly been true of my journey with Cohort 21. A true meeting of the minds, at the end of each session I feel like anything is possible, but when I get back to the very busy and  imperfect world in which I actually teach (this isn't a suggestion about my school, but true of everywhere) I feel it incredibly challenging to see how the big ideas I love to talk about look in the particular setting of my classroom. It's easy to get tied up trying out new technologies or aiming for a certain look to the classroom, and forget that what I really want is the simplest and most complicated goal: to help my students be happy and learn."

The Secret Skill Behind Being An Innovator | LinkedIn - 0 views

shared by garth nichols on 29 Mar 14 - No Cached
  • Let’s look more closely at what is happening, conceptually, when we make an analogy. “The essential requirement for analogical thinking,” Holyoak and Thagard write, “is the ability to look at specific situations and [] pull out abstract patterns that may also be found in superficially different situations.” That’s important, so I’ll say it again in a slightly different way: A useful analogy reveals the deep commonalities beneath superficial differences.
  • What does this allow us to do? The scientists Kevin Dunbar studied used analogies, first, to formulate hypotheses that they could then test. Their thought process went something like this: If we know that X does Y when Z, is it possible that A does Y when Z, too? Let’s find out. That’s often how innovations get their start, in the lab and elsewhere: by taking a familiar starting point and using it as a launch pad to explore new territory.
  • The appearance in the transcript of words indicating uncertainty, such as “maybe,” “I don’t know,” and “I don’t understand,” was often followed by an attempt to draw an analogy—to compare the ambiguous situation to a situation with which the scientists were familiar.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • At such moments, the scientists were employing analogies as different sort of bridge—a conceptual catwalk that provides just enough space to move forward and keep searching for solutions. As Schunn writes: “Scientists and engineers do not always seek to completely eliminate uncertainty (and indeed, sometimes it is not possible to do so) but often drive problem solving with the aim of converting it into approximate ranges sufficient to continue problem solving.”
  • To aid in finding just the right analogy, it helps to have a deep pool of potential targets. The Boston Strategy Group, a consulting firm, has created an online gallery of sources of analogical inspiration for its consultants and their clients to use. We can do this, too—bookmarking or pinning websites that inspire connections, keeping a folder of ripped-out articles or pictures from newspapers and magazines. A class or a workplace team can create a shared repository of analogical targets.
  • The best use of an analogy, as we’ve seen, is as as a bridge—and once we’ve crossed over the bridge, we can leave it behind.

  • The assessment process itself helps students develop critical thinking and analysis skills.
  • The process also helps students internalize knowledge, turning what and how they learn into a well of resources they can use in the future.

    Do you ever back door brag about being a perfectionist? Unlike other obsessions and addictions, perfectionism is something a lot of people celebrate, believing it's an asset. But true perfectionism can actually get in the way of productivity and happiness. I recently interviewed David Burns, author of "Feeling Good," who has made this exact connection.
