Diffendoofer Day

What does it mean to think? The ability to think means to work through ideas in order to solve problems, issues, or questions. A teacher can teach a student how to think by introducing them to questions that require thought. In the beginning the students may need some guidance. I have been in a class and in many situations where I had to think. In fact, this is one of those times where I have had to think. The question about thinking actually makes me have to sit and ponder a little bit, rack my brain for all the things I know in order to come up with the answer. Sometimes it can be quite uncomfortable, but others extremely rewarding. Recently in a earth apps class I had to take started out with the question what is the difference between climate and weather. And then through out the entire semester we built on this idea with out ever actually hearing what the teacher's definition was. We were able to think about it logically on our own. It came easier as the semester went on, with more knowledge of the subject.
