Part-9 Monitor Logical Thinking for Engaging Screenagers?

Remember when you were doing algebra and if you’ve got the right answer but you didn’t follow the right steps you didn’t get full credit? 


What the teachers were doing is helping us learn how to follow logical steps.
Until now there really hasn’t been a way to monitor that logical thinking.


For example let’s look at using John Dewey’s Method Of Reflective Thinking for solving problems.
These are the steps of the thinking process and all you need to do is include them in your eWorkbook as you are teaching.
  • Q1: Define what is the problem?
  • Q2: What are the severity and causes of the problem?
  • Q3: What are the solution criteria?
  • Q4: What are the possible (as many as possible) solutions to the problem?
  • Q5: What is/are the best possible solution(s) to the problem?
Imagine you want to train your learners to ask questions that follow a logical flow whenever they tackle a problem, so you ask these questions (in this order) in your eWorkbook.

 As students respond they can now begin to see how the flow works.
Once they begin to use the pattern over time in your eWorkbooks until it becomes a habit.
Look back at all those meetings where everyone was arguing for his or her solution (junk engagement), and ask yourself how much better would you feel if they had followed this logical thinking method (0ptimal engagement.)
Can’t you imagine how useful this could become for Engaging Screenagers throughout their lives?

Over the Top
Isn’t it true that In the end there will be moments and their lives where they will recall could recall these habit of thinking.
Wouldn’t it be a shame to not give Engaging Screenagers this gift of logical thinking as their lives could be so much more engaging in a positive way?

Make logical thinking a habit for a happier engaging life.

7 Keys Engaging Screenagers Best Improve Their Learning Time

7 Ways Engaging Screenagers Best Improve Their Learning Time In life it has been my experience that believing in yourself has more to do with success than most any other factor. Don’t you agree? When you believe in yourself then you make the decisions that support your success. Often, we hear complaints about how Engaging Screenagers (aren’t we all now) are not making the best decisions with their time, but are we helping them learn how to use their time for what’s most important? Are they learning to, as Stephen Covey says, “Put first things first?” The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change For example deciding not to play video games for hours on end (a few minutes for a break is great, but long term it becomes  junk-engagement)  can open those hours for hours on end of learning ( optimal engagement .)    In the following I will describe what I learned when I went back to Graduate school, but I realize (now) how important thes

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers

4 Steps To Curate A Safe Place To Fail: Engaging Screenagers In school, don’t we teach students they are to give the right answer or they fail? In life, don’t those who fail the most become the most successful? Aren’t we somehow missing the picture in education? Isn’t there a way to let students learn that failing is just learning what doesn’t work? Why is this important? Michael Jordan and Jack Ma are both famous for failing and they are both quite successful because they learned to turn failure into learning and kept trying.

Thinking/Talking vs. Trying/Feedback: Engaging Screenagers

Thinking/Talking vs. Trying/Feedback: Engaging Screenagers Thinking/Talking I go to a lot of conferences with a lot of really smart people and there was something in I noticed way back when I first started attending those conferences. What I noticed is that many of those really smart people do a lot of thinking and talking and that and very little actual prototyping and trying to get feedback. In academia, we use the Scientific Method of research were we create a hypothesis and then gather data that either supports or does not support our hypothesis. This process inherently takes a long time to complete, and as the world is changing so quickly, at times the research can be outdated before it is published.  (junk engagement) Interestingly I’ve seen lot of research on what they call the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, and yet very little of that research is actually used by teachers in the classroom. What I’m wondering is, shouldn’t that research be benefitting
