Star Log 133315/8/2007 Well so far it has been a stimulating and intimadating course so far. Of the thinking tools we have investigated I feel the Visual ranking Tool the one that I can go back to school next week and use. I think that the Showing Evidence Tool could be too complex for the Primary area. The Seeing Reason Tool has potential in the middle to upper area of primary. Examining the the different models of thinking and learning has made me consider more critically which behaviours and thinking skills I feel are most important for students to achieve the best outcomes for their future life and learning.

Starlog150316/8/2007 It is all coming together. My 'Celebrations' unit plan is emerging and I am feeling more confident about the process. As yet I haven't put too much thought into how I will teach the other participant teachers but when I feel comfortable they will be more successful in their learning. Oh Randell I have put a plagarism hex on this Blog. If you cut and paste it you will turn into a frog.
