Learning by reflecting (loop 2)
Learning by interacting (loop 3)

Education as the creation of productive conflict

Trying it out ...

Applying the story generally

Voyage to Serendip
The game of life
The magic Serpinski triangle
The four color problem

Oh My Loopy Brain

Oh! My loopy brain! It is funny how as teachers and students we can do the same thing twice AND it turns out completely differently each time. I actually seemed to get more out of the loopy brain today than the first time BUT you did it differently today! I am currently trying to set it up as an 8^th grade lesson. Thanks Kathy
