MCCL Critical Thinking: Fall 2020 by Linda Laughlin https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking We will use this parking lot for a variety of purposes, mainly to collect your feedback & questions. en-us 2020-08-02 20:45:35 UTC 2025-11-03 07:37:54 UTC hello@padlet.com Group 1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670112423 Professional Development and Graduate classes.
Critical thinking in the reading and writing aspect of class.  What do I expect for a regular answer and what would be above that.  Not just arriving at the obvious answer but also making connections.  Younger students are more challenging due to a lack of experience.  Try to give them more than yes or no answers.  Provide questions where they may have to justify their answer or find proof to justify their thinking. Build confidence in the learners to take chances with their thinking and responses. Encourage them to take the risk to step outside their comfort zone and not be afraid to be wrong. If they can use information to back up their thinking. ]]> 2020-08-05 13:30:58 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670112423 Group 2 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670112955 Something that's easy to say we do, but to explicitly teach it, not really sure. We model and think aloud. Undergrad- no classes to teach critical thinking. Done critical thinking... but haven't necessarily named it.
We've had a workshop day with teaching critical thinking. My partner and I use the 3 circle model and incorporate specific critical thinking skills into the lesson... but often times don't teach it explicitly.]]> 2020-08-05 13:31:29 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670112955 Group 2 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670118251 *The skills and strategies to actually implement the teaching of these critical thinking skills. 
*How to use the critical thinking skills in math.]]> 2020-08-05 13:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670118251 Group 1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670123783 Seeing another perspective from other facilitators. Getting multiple views on this topic. Gaining more strategies in developing the critical thinking skills. Get ideas that can be adjusted to use at the elementary levels so that there can be some continuity. Gaining more ides and strategies to implement in the classroom.]]> 2020-08-05 13:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670123783 Group 2 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670124397 Not just arriving at the answer... being able to explain how they got their answer- "math talk." Have a conversation about what they've done, how they arrived at an answer. Use of graphic organizer.]]> 2020-08-05 13:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670124397 Group 1 https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670128428 Conversations that are happening simultaneously. Learners interacting and sharing with each others. Sharing thoughts freely and responding to the thoughts of others respectfully. Environment that is exciting and energetic. Positive debate. Students understand that it is okay to think differently but respecting the thoughts of others. ]]> 2020-08-05 13:45:17 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/670128428 More student talk, less teacher https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/671236979 2020-08-06 12:54:37 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/671236979 Students asking each other questions... students using thinking routines. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/671237838 2020-08-06 12:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/671237838 1.Understanding the Taxonomy chart, and implementing those skills and processes with a purpose. https://padlet.com/llaughlin/CriticalThinking/wish/671237994 2.
