Mr. Pink wants to hear from you...
Mrs. Smith emailed Mr. Pink about what we have been doing in class and he has responded. Here is an excerpt from an email she received from Daniel Pink. He wants to know...
i wonder if somewhere in this process you could pose a question to your students. it's one i've been pondering, but my hunch is that your students will have more interesting answers than i could summon myself. the question would be something like this: If you had to create a new school -- or reform your current school -- so that it better develops the six senses, what one or two things would you do?
don't want to throw you off your lesson plan, but i'd love to hear
how the young women and men of arapahoe would respond that one.
maybe we could talk a little about it during our live blogging or some other venue?
thanks again for your great work.
cheers,
dan
So, either on the class blog, in your Personal Learning Journal, or both, respond thoughtfully to his question. This might be one you continue to come back to time and again reflecting your change of thinking as we discuss, read, and react to one another's' thoughts.
