LFMK - Critical Thinking

Do you ever just sit and think? What do you think about? Why is thinking necessary? Who should spend time thinking? Hopefully you don't believe everything you hear or read without taking some time to think. For kids, and adults alike, it's important for us to exercise our minds. Learning how to do so at an early age will have huge benefits later on in life. WeAreTeachers.com and Ideas.TED.com offer some good suggestions on how to help people be critical thinkers. As you can imagine, one of the sites is directed more for classrooms, yet you can adapt some of the ideas into your home or work.
