During class on November 9, Jacky and I spent most of the time finding academic articles on or related to Thinking Classrooms. Jacky focused on the works of Peter Liljedahl and he also previously found (informal) critiques of the Thinking Classrooms approach on various teachers' blogs. As for me, I found some articles written by others that were relevant to the idea of Thinking Classrooms - collaborative learning/activities, mathematical thinking and vertical whiteboard teaching method.
We also discussed about our three concepts and decided to change one of them (A) because we realized it was very dependent on getting student feedback and not from academic articles so we changed it to influences that brought about the creation of the Thinking Classrooms framework.
We discussed about visiting and seeing Takuya (Christine's SA) and Max to witness and get more input on Thinking Classrooms and their implementation of it in their classrooms. Plus, we wanted to get student feedback on how they felt about it.
