In class today I created my concept map. The process of working from an end result back to the beginning is one that I always enjoyed and found to help me in my creative thinking (which isn't my best attribute). Thinking about how I think in order to better help my students is a new approach. For the better part of a decade through college and teaching I have been integrated with the idea of differentiating my instruction to how my students learn. So when someone says but how does your thinking and learning influence how your students will learn I am a bit taken back. I am used to the notion of student first at all times at all cost. So the idea that someone else's thinking and learning is as important might be to much for some people to handle. Most people thought the world was flat for 1400 years so there is no telling how long it might take for people to catch on to this idea.

Jeremy, This is interesting. It looks like they'll really be applying their learning and then doing higher level thinking by reflecting in their blog.
