The idea of passwords in the reading was novel. The idea of accumulating points toward a prize for pre-reading Q/A was also novel. I feel like I will utilize these ideas, as each cohort seems to struggle more than the previous with completing the pre-reading. 

It was interesting to entertain the idea of extra credit to support extra projects that focused on student interests. 

I appreciated the concept of physically moving the students around the room to change the activity.

I was curious about the optimal font size for PPTs; the 30 pt font guideline is helpful. 

The idea on different color uses to differentiate material and re-energize the class seems like something I'd like to incorporate to see how students respond. 

I appreciate the insight into analytical steps and examples to implement the problem solving process. 

Gained an appreciation of different types of intelligences and how they can work together to facilitate more well-rounded learning/problem solving abilities. 

This section gave me a more specific understanding on why students my be inherently resistant to developing critical thinking skills. 

The Socratic questions can offer valuable insights to facilitate critical thinking.
