    Hi everyone, just joining for the first time this group.  I am very thankful for the reminder of using Bloom's Taxonomy as we delve into Critical Thinking Skills. I spoke with the teachers in our staff meeting yesterday and the teachers who I will work seem pretty interested.  All who were present concur that we have to teach above the recall level so that students can begin to think on a deeper level about information read in order to impact the real world.  I am enjoying the audio clips.

    This is awesome. I was recently given a small fourth form literature class and have been tirelessly working to move them from regurgitating knowledge of the text to deep critical analysis. It is difficult for them! I constantly refer them to their own worlds/ experiences to so they can compare and critically analyze the text. It is a work in progress and I am constantly looking for strategies that take them out of their comfort zone to the world beyond!

    Hi everyone,
    the course on how to develope critical thinking in a science classroom was really very informative.the ideas and the strategies which were explained are very easy to apply in the classroom though it might take a little longer than the usual lecture based classroom.
    the Socratic seminar and the service Learning both are quite effective and are a great success as far as construction of knowledge is concerned.
    It gives a place to the views and ideas of the students to be put forward and discussed upon before arriving to the final conclusions.
    It surely provides a scope for critical analysis of the text or the situation that the students are provided with.
