Today we talked about Procedure and Concept. We watched a video of two teachers, one representing "procedure" and the other one "concept." Concept was the cool guy; the one who did not have to put a lot of effort because he understood better the problem and took less time to solve the given problems - much like Justin Long in those recently-irritating Apple TV ads. And Procedure, you guessed it, it was pretty much like John Hodges (Sp?) taking the long route and getting nowhere.

We also rated ourselves as far as how intro/extraverted we were: 1 being extremely introverted and 10 extremely extraverted. I rated myself a 4 because I think I was very introverted when I was young, but have slowly been moving towards more extraversion.

The teacher talked to us about Fluency and Understanding. Fluency: the ability to do something quickly and accurately, not paying much attention to this procedure. Understanding: sense-making, reality check, relationship between many representatives, "depth."A delicate shift of attention: you may want to go from one to the other and make it the focus of your attention.
