Reflecting more often...

So I've been thinking about life - well life and how I reflect on it, and one of the ways that helps me to reflect is writing.

I specifically want to become better - more consistent at posting what I discover and think about - esp. with regard to technology.

My undergraduate studies stated that learners retain and think more clearly when done based on periods of metacognitive thought - that is thinking about thinking, and in this case, me thinking about my own thinking.

Being a reflective learner will help me to clarify and categorize things I see and learn about, and in this blog specifically - about technology and how teachers can make use of it in their classrooms and professional lives.

Comment by Lee Alvin Beamon, Jr. on April 2, 2010 at 9:15am: I read recently that teachers are using voicethread.com to post pictures of a lesson that was conducted. The students then viewed the photos and commented on them, hence retelling their version of the lesson and what they learned. I will continue to search for more ways of reflective teaching and as I come across them, I'll post when I get a chance.
