Path of my inquiry...

NWP SI...2004...'05, '06, '07 (Fall...started my doctoral program w/ Cindy, Lil, Lacy and Sally as thinking partners)...'08-'11...wrote around the fringes...blogging...panopticism...neoliberalism...capitalism...elementary school writing...(Fall of '1l...thought I'd do a historical look at Error...that didn't go well...talked to other thinking partners...Lil and Tony S...went back through all of my work and began to re-imagine it...weaving in and out of a conversation that already exists about the ways in which teachers and students relate to one another and between themselves...via their usage of tools...like daybooks and social media...during literacy instruction...started looking for connections...intersections...while preparing for my comprehensive exams...my literacy project informed my studying...my studying informed the project...skype sessions...talking to myself via scrivener...itunes...currently looking at ANT and how it may help me bridge the ideas I've composed to this point...creating a conversation between the macro and the micro...more writing...more thinking...more conversation with my thinking partners will help me figure out what moves need to be made next!

Using this space to think about how I go about process of "doing this" inquiry...LOTS OF READING, talk around that reading...writing around and eventually within that reading...the reading provides an image of a conversation...one that I want to enter...so in order to enter I have to listen to what's already being said in the spaces that it is being discussed...this leads to more reading, writing and talking!

I enjoyed your blog post. It made me think about how I would like my students to see how others approach a problem/question/activity. How does thinking happen? What's a "good" process? What does it look like? I think that based on working with you and other teachers during SI, I have more to bring to my students when discussing HOW people engaged in the reading and writing and talking you wrote about. Great thoughts... (also, I really like your use of...)
