Top Resources Edutopia Readings

    Here are Edutopia's most highly rated resources this week. Note that our resources can be rated along three parameters: PRACTICAL Practical materials are ones that you can use to improve your classroom or school right now. These include lesson ideas, tips and strategies for implemeting a new practice, or anything else that is useful RIGHT NOW (as opposed to something that may take 10 months and several committee meetings to implement.) INNOVATIVE These are materials that inspire you with their cutting-edge ideas. Not necessarily something you can implement right away, but if they're Practical too, then you can certainly choose both. PERSUASIVE Persuasive resources are those that make the case for a particular practice or idea. Maybe they helped to change your mind. Or maybe they could change someone else's mind. You could use these materials to persuade your school board, for instance, or your principal to adopt a new approach.

    The implicit assumption of these studies, and all interpretations of flow, is that self reports can adequately describe the content of flow. Therefore, no analysis is necessary or valuable regarding the linguistic content of such self-reports. Furthermore, there was implicitly no need to investigate how non conscious information may also parallel flow experiences, and how such information may be mediated by neurological (attentive alertness), somatic (relaxation), and perceptual (demand/skill match) representations that dynamically change in time.

  • Good thinkers certainly have thinking skills. But they also have more: Motivations, attitudes, values and habits of mind all play key roles in good thinking, and in large part it is these elements that determine whether people use their thinking skills when it counts.

      This is the key behind "Dispositions." Yes, people need the skill/abiity to think critically, but this doesn't tend to happen unless they have a desire to do so.

      This is where other frameworks for thinking could be used as well. If a school has been working with Art Costa's Habits of Mind or Robert Marzano's Dimensions of Learning, these can be used here. The main point is that "enculturation" is the solution, not "teaching" critical thinking.

      Suggestion: this is where an online space, focused on intrinsically motivating experiences is an asset. Changes in thinking and motivation require substantial time and repetition.
