Thank you. Even better by having teachers come up with glossary entries they are examining how their students might interpret the terms. Teacher insight into how learners interpret terms is very important. Some of those interpretations can be used to develop lessons, while others should be avoided as they may create misconceptions. I wonder what interpretations other learning communities would come up with. Thank you.
