Thanks for replying, and I'll look forward to hearing how this has affected (or IN-fected) your planning process. ;)<br /><br />- Elizabeth (@cheesemonkeysf)cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-83210638139677610192013-04-02T16:58:41.952-07:002013-04-02T16:58:41.952-07:00Elizabeth, your post really hit the spot tonight -...Elizabeth, your post really hit the spot tonight - inspiring! I've studied brain research in education a little bit and so I've been exposed to these ideas. But I love the list of six ... love the idea of using the list as a rubric of sorts as I plan the next unit. Lesson planning has been flat lately, mechanical, routine. <br /><br />I've been slack in my reading. I read Pink's book on the significance of creativity (A Whole New Mind) and I've heard lectures on his work on motivation - but haven't read Drive. So I'm putting Drive and Made to Stick on my reading list ... will choose hard copies since I may need to mark them up!<br /><br />Thank you for your post!Algebra's Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729315514507170702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-7365046756435684622013-04-02T09:48:18.532-07:002013-04-02T09:48:18.532-07:00Hey, what can I say?

I'm a stickler for parallel structure.<br /><br />I've been amazed at the ROI on manipulatives in terms of student engagement. I am so *not* a visual person that it was a revelation to me to discover that my own way of understanding was not "wrong" just because it was not visual. I wonder how many of our students have that same experience as well.<br /><br />Thanks for responding.<br /><br />- Elizabeth (@cheesemonkeysf)cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-74843741875105620912013-03-24T19:52:50.964-07:002013-03-24T19:52:50.964-07:00You're bothered by the noun?

(Maybe a key for something being memorable is to have it scan not-quite-right for everybody.)<br /><br />Regarding the rest of it though, I do like the idea that things like manipulatives do have some value in this context. Sometimes I've wondered if it's worth it, because I rarely see returns, and it's often not easy for me to incorporate in the first place (I am more of a visual person). Thanks for the reminder, and the suggestion.Gregory Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06547180132612659893noreply@blogger.com
