I think this course is awesome. It shows new ways of thinking. The next time I face an issue in or outside of the classroom I will take the time to use the 6 thinking hats. I will provide this for my students as well after an article, before/after a project to see all different types of their thinking.

I really enjoyed learning this strategy. I think this is something that my G/T students will LOVE to explore. This could also be a great way for my students to extend their learning in Social Studies. They could put on a hat as a specific character in time. It could help them to connect to the people we are learning about.
