      This is the key element. I need to craft my instruction so these pieces are clear to students
  • Young students, in primary school, for example, are less likely to have developed these metacognitive and emotional abilities but they can be helped to do so,

      This is incredibly important as we prepare our young students for secondary and beyond. They need a start in metacognition and reflections. These can be very simplified, but must be a part of the process to help them truly understand how to learn and grow.

      This calls us to mold our entire course around a set of research topics. For example, as students are learning specific skills, they are reading articles that demonstrate the use of these skills or questions to be solved by these skills. It is something I have been considering for quite some time. How do we mesh the 2 in the time we have?

      I direct students (primary) to a small number of websites and texts. I feel that this allows them to research in a more effective manner. To give them the world wide web and entire library is overwhelming and unrealistic, especially with the time constraints we generally have.

    Excellent information on critical thinking and the research process.

      Interdisciplinary activities can be particularly difficult for younger children. However, with effort and practice, teachers can learn to do frame them correctly and students can learn to accomplish them.

      Expression for their own gifts & interests at the same time establishing community--This is what we want for our students! If we can leverage student gifts/interests with community building around working in groups to solve problems (with knowledge aquisition as a part), we can help our children change the world.
  • An essential question is always poised at the boundary of the known and the unknown. While permitting fruitful exploration of what others before us have learned and discovered, attempts to answer an essential question open up mysteries that successively reveal themselves the more we come to "know".

      For me this is the tricky part of essential questions. Sometimes background knowledge is varied enough that this can be a great challenge. I guess our call is to group students with a variety of background information so they can share that knowledge as they problem solve.
  • An essential question that arises from imaginative engagement is an important way to bring teacher, student and subject matter together in ways that enrich all three.

      This idea changes the way we plan and think about student achievement. What a challenge when we continue to be measured by standardized tests!

      We have experimented with allowing 6th grade students to produce short skits. We have loved the process and out comes. However, we are learning about how to frame these projects so that they can be accomplished successfully in the limited time we have with students.

      I am initerested in working with students in blogs. I'd like to start with journals that help students with metacognition. How they understand their work, how they feel about their work, what is happening with their learning. I feel like if students start here and I respond, they will be more prepared to move to blogging with each other and globally.

      It is great that educators are receiving this as a part of their preparation. For most, this is a catch-up skill. If they know this information initially, lessons will be better prepared.

      I struggled with Hector's World. It is for young children. I'm not positive about their ability to make the leap from the undersea carnival setting to themselves working online. I do believe that a teacher can help with this, but I still think it will be over some students' heads.

      I believe this should be our foundational method of teaching. As we create community in our classrooms at the beginning of the year, we should include cyber citizenship. Then, teachers should continue to refer to the principles as appropriate occasions arise during the year.
