=Thinkers in the Classroom= Tony "I haven't even started yet" Ryan

Tom, Steve and John attended this presentation which not only considered the vital need of engendering higher level thiking into the classroom (note: that means teachers too) but also presented a number of excellent practical lesson and presentation tips.

A pdf of all the slides used can be downloaded from the [|learning@school site]. [note: you will need your username and password] [russell, do you think it would be ok to upload the pdf here given that this is a totally public area?].

John here: I suggest we download a copy onto our own Ultranet sites. For me this was an excellent session. Many of the exercises we did could be used or adapted for classroom use. They activities provided stimulation, engagement, challenge, collaboration and had movement. I think we could gradually add some of these activities into our teaching repertoire or toolkit. I also thought the idea of using levels for reflection and evaluation of one's own lessons was interesting. More details later.
