The research that supports this work comes from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Project. Their work has developed numerous research projects at Project Zero including work on visible thinking. I learned about this work while attending the Washington International School's Summer Institute for Teachers during two concurrent summers and taking a Harvard School of Education graduate course. Since engaging with this research, I have been amplifying thinking routines using technology tools for students and adult learners for the past three years as an elementary school technology coach and speaker based on my weekly technology class experiences and coteaching experiences.
