Teaching Thinking Skills - 'Thinking Hats'

All - the lesson here from LD aims to push student thinking by teaching de Bono's '6 Thinking Hats' approach. The idea is to make thinking processes more explicit and help develop skilful, controlled and purposeful thinking. There's a useful article here , or see Leanne if you want to discuss.

AFL presentation

All - here is a voiceover film of TB's presentation on Independent Learning from the staff meeting on 12/10/2011. It should work, but if you click on it, it might take about 45 seconds before it starts - don't know why!

Cherwell Online - YouTube Channel

Hi all,
This post represents a rather low-key launch for Cherwell's very own YouTube Channel, viewable at www.youtube.com/cherwellonline . It's rather sparsely populated at the moment, although Sociology and Business Studies have got the ball rolling with some excellent examples of revision videos - thanks to KB and colleagues on her work here!
If you would like to get involved in producing similar resources, please see TB or PS.
Thanks
TB
