It...Justin, thanks for sharing this important post. It hasn't been until recently going through #ETMOOC when the discussion of introverts came up, that I really spent time looking at it closely. Through reading some different blog posts and chats, I discovered I lean in the direction of being an introvert myself. It helped explain some things and eased some of the anxiety I've felt about those particular bents. I'm glad that I've pushed through some of those tendencies to do some large group trainings, speak out on important issues, etc. It also helped me to continue to encourage teachers to use digital tools to allow students to express themselves in an environment they're more comfortable in and where share their learning with others. The CCS support more reflective, digital environments for students, which will be a boon for many students who wouldn't share their thinking and learning otherwise, except with the teacher through written assignments and assessments. With so many good collaborative tools for the classroom now for us to use with students, perhaps we'll see instructional design begin to make that shift to a greater degree. I hope so!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
