I agree also about the wait time for children to get their thoughts organised. I think for me it was a little of what I was hoping for and expecting, didn't quite happen. You get that in education. I believe my children are getting to the planning stage more and although I want their first thoughts, I also want the depth so need to scaffold this. We are having a voice recorder running all the time to capture the natural discussions and also the video camera now. Thanks for the comments, given me some food for thought.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15034075822846344469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-791245547955513505.post-47963011978445470022009-05-10T14:48:00.000-07:002009-05-10T14:48:00.000-07:00Hi Robyn

I think we are all so used to teleprompted television we forget that people don't naturally talk like that. Maybe you are seeing some of that in your video as well - my impressions of children sharing is they quite often pause and think midway in a sentence.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870877345405913856noreply@blogger.com
