Well, a little blast from the past! 🙂
This is a project I developed, and presented, in 1989.
It’s interesting that we are struggling with many of the same issues today—although perhaps using ‘modern’ terms.
Intentional learning has grown into knowledge building.
We still speak a great deal about metacognition.
Two of my favourites remain:
“Thinking must be a highly valued activity. Not just thinking hard, but thinking about thinking, in addition to the task.”
“Students must be engaged as coinvestigators into the processes of thinking.”
These would fall under the umbrella of the current visible thinking enthusiasm.
Fun to look back to the future.
The Construction Zone 
I remember this well! Great minds over the years came up with similar thinking tools. What are your current favorites?
Hey Carolina! It was around this time that we met as well. And Coco too!
Knowledge Forum (which inspired me!) is doing relatively well these days in the ‘knowledge building’ arena.
But, in fairness, I am not overly familiar with others. Can you share yours?
I do see some great related work but not supported by technology so much. I love the work on ‘visible thinking’, ‘Creating cultures of Thinking’ and developing ‘knowledge building’ cultures.
Good to hear from you!
