I have been planning my lesson on Synectics for my class and my head is still spinning a bit. Although I really identify with this model on a personal level, because I create analogies for just about everything I try to explain to anyone, I am finding it a challenge to wrap my head around all the steps in the process. The process itself make total sense to me, it seems very logical and very effective. Perhaps this is the manner in which I learn best because there is almost an instinct drawn to it for me. However when going over the steps and working through my topic I am left hoping I do have a classroom full of kids blankly staring at me as if I am a blithering idiot.
I will think it through for a couple more days and practice it in my head and hope for the best! I guess that is the best any of us can do when we are learning new techniques.

I had some of those same feelings before teaching the lesson. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the class as a whole responded to the lesson. It was a little hard going through all the steps. Hope your lesson went well.
ReplyDeleteThe steps for the version of making the strange familiar were more difficult for me to grasp than making the familiar strange. I hope my video accomplished what I wanted it to.
