Added June: Actitude Analysis Strategy
Decommissioning WebQuests - the main source from Dr Bernie Dodge has been taken off the Internet and teachers are not using them as they did. I am gradually taking off the WQ icon from all 1200 pages!
At the beginning of June 2024, we
started putting "Critical Thinking Spots" onto our pages. These are mostly
articles from The Conversation
written by academics who have researched the topic thoroughly.
The Critical Thinking Spots have questions to ponder after reading the article. It is hoped teachers and students, after a few minutes [3 - 5 mins] read, will take advantage of these spots for some deep thinking and maybe discussion. A great way to focus students at the beginning or end of a lesson.
