Two Great Classroom Posters on The Six Thinking Hats

Two Great Classroom Posters on The Six Thinking Hats | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Beth Dichter's insight:

Here is another way to have students think about their thinking. The Six Hats was written by Edward de Bono, and provides one way for students to organize their "thinking and decision making skills."
Each had is a different color and each represents a different way you might approach thinking.

* The white hat is about data and information. Think of it as a neutral position.

* The red hat looks at emotions.

* The yellow hat had a positive point of view.

* The black hat is more cautious.

* The green hat is for creative thinking and new ideas.

* The blue hat is for thinking about thinking (metacognition).

The post includes two additional visuals. Many students might find the process of thinking about what hat they would wear to help them determine the best way to approach specific areas.

I think IEP meetings could be more productive if the 6 Thinking Hats approach was used.  What do you think?

A fresh take on the Thinking Hats - a great tool for writing blog reflections and other individual as well as collaborative work.

The Innovative Educator: Emoticons Enhance Expression :) | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it

Some critics of text messaging feel it is ineffective communication because it is void of emotion, lacking the message enhancements that tone of voice and nonverbal expression provide...In addition to needing to find the right word to convey emotions a whole new means of communicating feelings and emotions has developed for use with texting called emoticons. Emoticons are symbols used to represent feelings.
