RPI - Day 7: Thinking

I am blogging very late for Day 7, as I was sick on the day, and quite a while after. Yes, I attended, however, it has meant rereading the slides, rechecking resources, and completing tasks at a later date that could have been done on the day. 

 Never mind, c'est la vie.

I learned a lot from Day 7 on thinking. I appreciate how our learning in this course is all coming together now, and I am able to understand the bigger picture. The resources shared throughout this course have been invaluable, and Day 7 was no different. I have had another look at the Cybersmart Challenges that Dorothy shared, as well as all the links provided by Naomi and Georgie on Critical Analysis, and the Analysing Texts links that Georgie shared. 

 

The Levels of Thinking laid out bare like that was beneficial. While I would like to think I include all three levels of thinking, to have them listed and explained in the way they were definitely makes me think more consciously about them, and the coverage of them.

The critical thinking work I had planned for this week (Last week was production week, and the week prior my class was all way on camps) has had to change. The theme I had planned on doing this week was based on racism. With the addition of 2 new students in my class, I made the call that this week wasn't the right time to work through the planned work. Back to the drawing board on that one.

I am looking forward to tomorrow's session. Having read the agenda notes in advance it looks like lots of fun!
