Speaker: Tim Murphey, Nanzan University
Teachers can help construct an environment in which "what minds are modeling is made manifest to all." We will explore different ways that teachers can encourage students to make manifest to each other and the teacher what their minds are modeling and what activities are being constructed. Concretely, processes of shadowing and summarizing, action logging and newsletters, and community building techniques will be highlighted.
