Visible Thinking

1. How do you believe this type of thinking and activity can influence your learning in SED337?

I am a visual learner.  I enjoy being able to see things and make connections and discussing my thoughts out loud.  With that in mind, this kind of thinking and activity would be ideal for my learning experience in this class. 

This article was really amazing because it opened up the concept of visible thinking and learning and made it clear of how it can effect students individually and the classroom culture.

      2.  How do you believe it could impact the learning of students who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing?

I personally think that for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students that use the visual language of signed language to communicate that they probably learn very similar to the way I learn in which is visually.  For Deaf and hard of hearing students that this is true for, thinking and learning this way would be ideal for best results in their education.  There are exceptions to every rule.  So for the students who don't learn best visually I still think this would be an amazing tool that would positively effect their lives because this concepts effects the classroom culture and challenges the students that thinking is valued and challenges the students to think because that is the learning environment that they are in.  THat is amazing.
