Vanessa reviewed Envisioning knowledge
Review of 'Envisioning knowledge' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I just read about this in Nov 2012 NCTE Chronicle this morning, got excited, and bought it online. It provides a really interesting and helpful way of thinking about how we learn across disciplines and how we think when we are learning. There are some nice parallels with the structures discussed in What Readers Really Do by Barnhouse and Vinton, and I'll be incorporating many of the ideas into my teaching right away.
So far, I've only read the non-discipline specific chapters in the beginning and the one on English. But I'll definitely go back to the other disciplines as well as the chapter on cross-discipline collaborations soon!
