I'm hearing more and more about students noticing that others are doing some innovative lessons and asking why they're not able to as well. Maybe that will help, too.Susie Highleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05064310755720648044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625693441189436828.post-3989731201569022562013-10-21T08:40:43.118-07:002013-10-21T08:40:43.118-07:00I think you're right - and I think sometimes t...I think you're right - and I think sometimes that's the hardest part to complete. there's that whole reflection wheel. You learn something (f2f or through your PLN), you share it, you try it with your students, you reflect on how it went, and then you share that, and the circle keeps going - always going back to "does it work for me - why or why not?". What do other people tweak to make it work for them, and do they share that information? Until we build up a critical mass of people doing this (teachers like @avivaloca and @royanlee are two of my favourites), we just keep spinning our wheels, and not moving forward - personally or collectively. It's got to be a gradual, cultural change, beyond just picking up an idea on Twitter - what did you do with it, how did you document it, how did you reflect on it, and what did you learn?Lisa Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240596235858177926noreply@blogger.com
