They were collaborating and competing but also learning from the experience. This promotes interdependent thinking because everyone was relying on one another to help increase the drops, while also understanding and appreciating the individual efforts each of them made. Furthermore, even if no one beat the record the group still worked together by proposing ideas, motivating each other, and discussing the particular concepts within the experiment. This is an example of strong “Thinking Interdependently” because everyone is working together to reach a common goal and learning from the outcome. On the other hand, an example of a weak “Thinking Interdependently” in science course would be if the professor gave the instructions to the class on how to do a science experiment and left the class to work with it on their own without any guidance. With no group discussion about the concepts or ideas, there would be no collaboration or relationships between the students. As a result, the professor would have limited understanding of whether the students actually learned from the experience or not.

I encourage others to re-read the text and consider the impacts of this shift in perspective on the writer.

It is nice that the students get to utilize a resource that they see daily to create solutions to problems in their environment.

I strongly believe that these are the two most important components of creativity. I use many activities like songs, stories and games that require the participation of the whole group and encourage students to exchange ideas and collaborate. I help guide them to respond to each other’s ideas with thoughtful comments and to arrange their thinking in their own way. I also model problem-solving strategies that they can use when faced with challenges. This is a great example of a strong example of “Thinking Interdependently.” We need teachers willing to create an environment that encourages collaboration and the sharing of ideas. As we can see, different people have their own way of processing information and can come up with unique solutions if given the chance to explore and collaborate with others.

I know that the question I chose to write a post about is something that people may not think of on a daily basis, but I feel like my thoughts and ideas are sometimes very limited. One of my goals for the remainder of this year is to actually push the boundaries or "limits" of my thinking and creativity, and tap into different parts of both by reading and researching more, as well as going out and experiencing more on my own.
