Working defintion

This is an interesting way to think about how to update the good KWL strategy. It expands the scaffolding process to include things that would be the focus of how to go about answering the quesitons you've genereated & where you'd look to find the info.

Very nifty way of changing something old into an even more effective strategy.

Reingold talks about the way to build a community of learners...co-learners and how to help that spirit grow amongst the participants.

The wiki has loads of useful information and things to think about when creating activities.

"A supermarket chain in South Korea has come up with a way to allow commuters to do their shopping while they wait for the subway. They hung life size banners along subway walls that recreate supermarket aisles and included QR codes for each item on the virtual shelves that when scanned add the item to the shopper's online cart. When customers check out, the order is placed via the supermarket's website and then delivered to the customer's home later that day." Look at how thinking differently changed the way people shopped for groceries in Korea. As educators, can't we find a way to think this differently too so we can change education...putting the learners at the center.

These are wonderful ways to incorporate activities to get thinking stimulated. Just imagine how much fun they'll have and the questions they'll genereate.
