Getting student participation in questioning sessions

Hi Shawn, My undergrad degree was also Philosophy. ( My mother used to ask if I was just going to sit in a cave and "Think" with that degree - or get a "Real Job"?) Happily , I have a "Real Job"! You are so correct - we need to encourage our students to think critically as this is a skill that they will use throughout their lives. http://www.tecweb.org/styles/gardner.html Susan Polick
