Chapter 6Quote: “Inquiry is an extremely powerful technique for learning because it produces stockpiles of experiences. Things that result in dead ends for one particular question may wind up being unexpectedly useful later on-even, perhaps, for a completely different question.” (Thomas & Brown, p.83) I choose this quote because I think it not only defines the goals of chapter 6 but really the goals of common core.
Question: Can indwelling be synonymous with educational common sense? If it is going to be considered that the skills gained from indwelling become second nature and are thus autonomic for the learner then I would assume that educational common sense/shared experiences would be accurate. Connection: What we are teaching towards for common core is for students to utilize writing and primary sources across all topics. If we get out students to absorb good reading and writing strategies that they can apply to both science and English then they will have a much better chance getting into college. Getting students to absorb the knowledge in history is also getting them to tie together events and assess primary sources not just at who wrote them but what was happening when they were written? Was this during a revolution or war and how that would skew someone’s bias in the past? Epiphany: I realized that we are doing the same basic model in our quest to become educators. We are trying to absorb the knowledge of pedagogy and be able to create awesome lesson without focusing on every small piece of the lesson because since we have absorbed the knowledge it will be utilized automatically. UDL will be in every lesson because we have learned about how effective it is not only from text but from use in the classroom.

Another great post! I do agree with you about participating in the "online collective." We are learning continually, whether it's posting to add content or it's reviewing what someone else has written. I know I would like to did this kind of learning more with subjects/topics/things I am passionate about. Pedagogy and theory is great and everything, but it isn't what motivates me to get out of bed in the morning, if you catch my drift.
