Back home in Sweden you have time to think throurgh what you´ve experienced and I tell you – it was a lot. But before summarizing I must add some pictures from the teachers workshop. It went so well – picking in garbage seems to be “the thing” – or as the young drumers from the gala-dinner expressed it: “Recycling is not only important – it´s fun”

Had a nice conersation with Bob Schwartz during lunch. Can´t wait to  go to his work-shop tomorrow. During our work-shop I had an equally nice chat with Art Costa – and I will attend his symposium later on today. Art asked me that we do a follow-up study about how our students use thinking skills after they´ve graduated. I really have to think this through since it is – as he said- a Phd-study if you want to do it thoroughly. (I guess I didn´t get the spelling quite right there).
Yesterdays gala-dinner was a lot of fun. We even got to do some “twisting” with Mr super-cool Tony Buzan. Check the pics!

Our workshop will be held on Thursday- so now we rehears it in Petra´s hotelroom. A lot of laughter. You guys who come to see us will have a blast and leave our workshop a bit more curious and hopefully eager to start working with applying thinking skills into a problem-based learning curriculum =)

Dag 2

För våra entusiastiska svenska läsare kommer nu mitt svenska inlägg med det senaste skvallret. Jag vet att det är det alla ni elever är mest intresserade av. Hur hanterar Pelle sin image som alfahanne med ”fem fruar”? Har Marie lyckats hitta ett utskänkningsställe för iskalla coca-cola? Hur många prominenta personer har Susan lyckats att charma? Hur många nya idéer om hjärnan har Malin lyckats fylla sin hjärna med? Hur många gånger har vi hört Petra skratta högt och got under presentationerna? Och så jag då…skvallrar inte om mig själv – det är en av fördelarna med att vara bloggdrottning (jag låtsas att mina grå hår är platinablonda och jag har automatiskt transformerats till en 20-åring i den Malaysiska värmen. ”Dream on baby” =)

Vi har det fantastiskt bra här: minglar utav helsike. (Vi är ”so close” med framstående tänkare från hela världen,), lyssnar till spännande föredragshållare som får en oss att spinna loss i tankar om allt vi vill åstadkomma när vi komer hem ”(Oh no” tänker en del av er nu – ”inte mer”, men då vill jag framhålla att den undervisning ni får, det sätt ni arbetar på, och de kompetenser ni tränas i är ”so right” för framtiden. Vi är en riktig spjutspetsskola i en internationell kontext. Känn er stolta! Det gör vi!). För att prata som Annika- Annika- Annika- Annika gjorde under avslutningen – ”Ni är fantastiska och ni har inga medellärare.” Helt allvarligt – ni skulle se era lärare röra sig bland intelligentian härnere.
Nu ska lärarna repa inför sin workshop så jag slutar!
