- Group Work: A collection of ideas pulled together to create a single project. A collaboration of style, individuality from a range of viewpoints.

- Metacognition: Understanding your own thought process and thinking about how you could think about it differently. An awareness of how you developed understanding.]]> 2017-10-30 14:14:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730036 https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730192 Thinking skills
The process / methodology of travelling down a path until you understand.

Group work
People sharing and improving ideas / resources so the the whole is better than the individual or that a person is lifted up.

Managing Metacognition
Knowing why and how you learn/think about/remember something.]]> 2017-10-30 14:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730192 1703343 https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730528 I would define thinking skills as :
Problem solving
Communicating with each other - debating
Processing data and the outcome of the solutions
Doing things
--------------------------------------
Group work
I think group work entails 
* A group working together to find a solution for a question or problem
* Spending time together for a purpose
* Collaborative learning!! :-)

--------------
Metacognitive Learning
* To think about learning to be clever and how to get there
* Your own awareness of how to better yourself to do something
*Enabling people to understand what to do and how to get there

Thinking skills are mental processes we use to do things like: solve problems, make decisions, ask questions, construct plans, evaluate ideas, organise information and create objects.

What is Group Work?
A bunch of brains combining to solve a problem.

What is Metacognition
Metacognition is "cognition about cognition", "thinking about thinking", "knowing about knowing", becoming "aware of one's awareness" and higher-order thinking skills 
Besides  rhesus monkeys, apes, and dolphins, only humans are able to think about metacognition.
This is usually by teaching pupils specific strategies to set goals, and monitor and evaluate their own academic development. Self-regulation means managing one’s own motivation towards learning. The intention is often to give pupils a repertoire of strategies to choose from during learning activities. ]]> 2017-10-30 14:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730942 jan_barnes https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730993 2017-10-30 14:15:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201730993 https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201731158 Thinking skills is a way we interpret  data or information by  creating our own ideas, concepts or belief of a particular topic or subject. 

Group work: Group work consists of people coming together to develop a collection of ideas to produce an outcome.   

Metacognition: Mezirow's theory of transformation learning uses the idea that pupils learn from their experiences and then reflects on their experience. By reflecting they can understand the concepts they have learnt and uses them in different contexts to understand where they are in learning and how they are going to achieve their learning goals. ]]> 2017-10-30 14:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jan_barnes/z1uy0p4b2crv/wish/201731158
