I found this article on "Think-Aloud" which is a much older education strategy. I use it from time to time in my classroom and always felt a little cautious while doing so, mostly because there seems to be such a big emphasis on using newer methods.
I was happy when I found this article because it does help emphasis that just because something is new does not mean that it is better.

This article made me breathe a sigh of relief. I also like to "think aloud" with my students but always wonder if it is the right strategy to use.
