Thinking About A Lack Of Thinking | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Thinking..is there enough thinking by students, teachers, administrators and policy makers in education? Grant Wiggins states "We know more but are oddly increasingly? - thoughtless. Why?"

The post makes it clear that how we understand definitions of a number of terms is critical. After a discussion on words thoughtful and thoughtless the post is split into the following sections:

* What is Thoughtfulness?

* A Common Thoughtless Comment

* Thinking About Our Continued Thoughtlessness

This article was the first of three posts. The second post can be found at
