		<description><![CDATA[Two conversations I have had lately have really made me think about students, teaching, technology and 21st Century skills. Added to that, a number of my former students have friended me on Facebook and have talked about what they remember about my class. Basically, my thoughts have been directed to the difference between what we, as teachers, want them to remember, and what they actually remember. Then, I am led to ponder how that melds with the specific memories that lead to success in their lives. Deep, huh? So, once again, I am on the trail of making meaning.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maine121.org&blog=9015003&post=1151&subd=maine121&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[learning critical thinking should address these issues in a developmental way, building skills step by step. There are quite a few different models/definitions/attributes of critical thinking that attempt to make it possible to observe it in action. How are we to deal with the issue of standardized testing and the teaching of critical thinking? Socratic questioning is a way of helping students face the issue of critical thinking. Web 2.0 tools could be used to help kids learn and practice discourse and critique by looking at comments and commenting. Measuring critical thinking can be a wicked problem, depending on what you are looking for.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maine121.org&blog=9015003&post=1078&subd=maine121&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
