Reflections: Looking Back at Our Video Projects?

Reflection is an important component of meaningful learning. Reflection is thinking for an extended period by linking recent experiences to earlier ones in order to promote a more complex and interrelated mental schema (way of thinking). The thinking involves looking for commonalities, differences, and interrelations beyond their superficial elements.

Many educators believe in the value of reflection, from Confucius to Plato to Aristotle to John Dewey.

You have two tasks for warmup today.
1) Write a paragraph in response to the idea of reflecting. Do you like reflecting on your learning? Does reflecting help you remember and make deeper connections? (If not then what does?) How do you like to reflect?
2) Watch your video project from our introduction unit (the videos and your rubrics are in my shared folder). What do you notice about the video now after a break? What connections can you see now?
