Thinking

Each week I will add a photo to make you think. You will find it in the sidebar. Vote on the poll below it. If you would love to read some of your comments so please give your reasons and thoughts.

Cogito ergo sum ("I think, therefore I am") - René Descartes


We all want our children to be able to analyze information, make decisions, come up with creative ideas and solve problems - to think rationally and logically. Thinking skills are essential in our rapidly changing global information age. We need to be able to make sense of information, adapt and be skilled in identifying and solving problems. As a result, the development of thinking skills is one of the most valuable gifts we can pass on to children. Thinking is motivated by questions. I plan to use a photo or question to encourage this, to challenge ideas, engage with issues and to show feelings. Watch out for these!
