3:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Thinking routines help to reveal a learner’s thinking to the teacher and help learners to notice and name particular reflection and critical thinking processes, making those processes more available and useful to them in other contexts.

- Expand your understanding of how educational technologies enhance visible thinking strategies
- Develop a practice of integrating visible thinking strategies with your existing resources
