We will continue our exploration of the seven things and pick up with the importance of "Discussing" problem solving, communication and social skills. Yes, academics are important, but what good is my knowledge if I don't know how to get my shovel back?
Then we'll move on to the importance of "Observing." Piggy-backing on the importance of observing and using our senses, Lisa will provide you with the information from her "Taming the Media Monster" workshop, designed to give you the info you need to defend a "no computers" stance in your program. In addition, how do we use our own powers of observation to meet the needs of the children? How does multiple intelligences theory relate to the importance of meeting these individual needs?
