Our group worked well together. We found the connections between the tools and ownership. Hexagonal is an easy activity that forces students to have conversations.

We made a representation of the UDL guidelines. Ours branches out but as you can note that it connects.

We saw a lot of our words connected together and combined with our first word universal.

Goal Setting was in the middle of our hexagon. Everything else connected with goal setting. We thought about the ways goal setting is built with autonomy, represented in different ways, and the tools are differentiated based on the individual.

A connection that I noticed was that most of terms do connect with each other.

I noticed that engagement connected with digital, relevance, video, goal setting, and collaboration.

I noticed that many of the hexagons would fit into multiple different categories. One of the things that we discussed as a team was how we could incorporate this into our classroom. Two of the ladies teach elementary school, so they discussed pairing the activity with a visual. For math, we discussed making this a vocabulary activity.

Representation in the center with paper, text, digital, video and representation.

Purpose is connected ti universal, material, goal setting, and material.

Our hexagonal thinking shows a connection between ownership in students' work, goal setting, autonomy, and the products created when students are taught through a universal design learning lens.

I noticed that most of the hexagons were ambiguous. Many of them fit into several different categories and were able to connect to different hexagons. I also noticed that as teachers we were looking at each one through a different view point. One person looked at "collaboration" through the view of a teacher while another looked at it via a students perceptive.

Universal and design applies to most of the other terms as well.

We centered our terms around goal-setting and made connections from there. Goal-setting is one of those very broad terms, there are multiple ways to begin goal-setting and one of those first ones is to begin with purpose, what is the reason you have that goal. We also connected ownership to goal-setting because in order for one to set a goal, it needs to be your own goal and what you want to achieve.

My top three connections are collaboration, action & expression and engagement.

We started with goal setting and worked our way around the table adding how each of our hexagons related to goal settings. We noticed that the other two connections that were stronger were tools and ownership. Tools can be branched into many different aspects and also allows a universal way to provide purpose in learning. Ownership is another key to goal setting since it allows people a structured choice of how to collaborate with others and expression their engagement and actions.

Hexagonal Thinking develops collaborative thinking.

We made a representaion of UDL guidleines. We placed engagement in the center because it provides options for student interest. Which leads to relevance and authenticity. From there we connected representation or the multiple ways to display information.
