__ Using Photo Essays and Blogs to Achieve Higher order Thinking and Sound Reasoning __ What happens when you pass out cameras to 7th grade students and challenge them with creating a photo essay to answer the question “Does the American Dream exist in Eagle County?” Join teachers Noel Falk and Stephanie Gallegos as they share the process their team went through to move students into higher levels of thinking.Walk with them as they share how they each discovered the power of creating a personal blog and how they plan on using this tool for students to self-reflect and give each other feedback in the classroom this year. Emily Cousins once said, “Teach so as to build on children’s curiosity about the world by creating learning situations that provide matter to think about, time to experiment, and time to make sense of what is observed. Foster a community where student’s ideas are respected.”
