Thinking+Maps

==**//It is today's students who will construct new knowledge. As we come more and more to believe that knowledge is not only interconnected but also inter-dependent, then we will see how much we need to provide students with new and dynamic mental tools. These tools will help them to unlearn and relearn what we have taught them so that they may build new theories of knowledge and create new tools for making their world// - David Hyerle Ed. D- Developer of Thinking Maps ** ==

== Las Brisas is a Thinking Maps school. Thinking Maps are visual representations of the eight basic thought processes. The maps give students a chance to put their thinking on paper, to discuss it with others and expand on it as more information is provided. We will be using Thinking Maps all year. This Power Point provides a definition and example for each map. ==
