Thinking routine in SLS

Simply love the new thinking routine function in SLS (introduced in April). It really helps to make the thinking process more visible. 

Adding the thinking routine is easy as shown below.

You can also use it for the students to work on  categorisation or as a virtual gallery for their peers to look and comment on. One of the teachers shared on how he used it as an exit pass - 3, 2, 1 reflection. The tool is also great in encouraging active learning. 

There are various templates such as see-think-wonder in thinking routine. You can make use of the thinking routine templates or customize one.

You can read more on thinking routine here:  http://www.visiblethinkingpz.org/VisibleThinking_html_files/VisibleThinking1.html


You can choose to hide the students' names when showing to the class in live mode. You can also bookmark some of the responses to be viewed on top (click on the flag on the top right hand corner of the comment)

As shown by the video below, you can get the students to respond by drawing a picture or label a diagram in thinking routine. One of the Maths teacher shared how she gotten the students to draw the shapes of objects they have observed under the 3 categories (3-columns).
