Think Time

14/100 think time
When I was a kid I used to have such anxiety each time a teacher would ask a question in school. Not because I didn’t know the answer but because they always asked, then immediately took the first kid to answer and moved on, while I was still processing and thinking about the question. When I was in college to become a teacher, a professor explained this situation as “think time” and he said everyone requires a different amount of think time and that we as teachers need to give adequate think time for all the kids in our class, not just the fast thinkers. Getting an answer is not all about speed. In fact the fast answer is often not the best answer (there is a great Malcolm Gladwell @revisionisthistory podcast about LSATs and think time) I have been thinking about this idea a lot as I work through this project both in terms of my own think time in this creative process and all the different think times of all the different brains in these portraits. #efportraits #100daysofefportraits
