"In preparing for professional development on the topic of Digital Citizenship ...I have been searching for a resource to share on the importance of modeling these skills...I know that teaching in isolation is not usually as effective as taking advantage of teachable moments – when students are actually online and pursuing a learning task to reinforce appropriate behavior, safety, and application of skills."

Beth Dichter's insight:
This is a great interactive model of critical thinking. One circle has 8 elements of thought: * Question at issue * Information * Interpretation and influence * Concepts * Assumptions * Implications and Consequences * Point of View As you role over and selelct an element of thought you are hown additional information about the element. For example, if you were to select Point of View you would be prompted to understand your point of view and provided with questions to further your thinking. In addition there are also prompts for intellectual standards to consider. The intellectual standards include: clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, logic, significance, and fairness. In each of these area there is a brief definition as well a three additional questions to consider. There is also one choice (more) that provides you with additional standards you might want to consider and suggests that you think of your own.

I'm thinking this is a pretty complicated model given that many of our very best critical thinking is done within the space of a blink! However, it's useful to be able to break it down and explain it for undergraduates for whom universities have great expectations in criticial thinking but don't really explain how they know what it is when they see it. And, sadly, in introductory courses too often professors don't expect critical thinking of their students - sticking too close to recall or lower levels of application thinking for their expectations of student performance.

terrific toy for educators to play with and use - would work great in a group discussion with a faculty scholarly community...

Though abstract and difficult to model, inference is an important skill to teach students -- it's the gateway to the kind of higher-order, critical thinking students need to succeed in school and work. How can we model how to draw conclusions with students? This book explores four inference strategies: * Inductive learning * Mystery * Main Idea * Investigation From this point they list five principles and corresponding phases of implementation, and you may read Section 1: Why Inference? This section provides a sample lesson plans as well as many great examples - sample word lists, text passages, graphic organizers - that will help you with future lessons...and may lead you to choose to purchase the book!

"It’s an age-old saying, “Give a man a fish, and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime.” What separates good teachers from the excellent ones? The excellent ones are handing out fishing poles; creating a culture in the classroom of independence and self-reliance. These students don’t just recite facts or regurgitate information- they have learned how to learn. They know that if the answer isn’t in front of them, they have the tools to do the investigation and research."

But what about the 21st Century Teacher, what are the characteristics we would expect to see in a 21st Century Educator. We know they are student centric, holistic, they are teaching about how to learn as much as teaching about the subject area. We know too, that they must be 21st Century learners as well. But teachers are more than this
