I have been looking closely into the Habit of Mind of Thinking Interdependently. I think that this Habit is a very important one, as today's curriculum is heavily based on working together and learning as part of a group. I have heard that universities are also using more group assignments. This means that students are going to have to know how to think interdependently in order to achieve the best marks/success possible.
I found the following clips on Youtube. I believe they show the HOM: Thinking Interdependently in practice. The first clip is a class of young students collaborating and working together to build a snowman. The second clip is a cartoon of penguins working together to defeat a shark. The last clip is of two mice (taken from the game "Mouse Trap") working together to overcome a series of problems and capture the "ogre".
