Technology and higher order thinking/problem solving

How
 can 
technology
 help 
develop 
higher 
order 
thinking 
and 
problem
 solving 
skills?

I went to these websites to investigate...

Bloom's Taxonomy was addressed in both of the above websites. At Education World, each level of learning was explored in light of how technology can be involved. What I noticed was the vast variety of free resources available to us on the internet! There were great websites that can be involved in each level of learning. It would be possible to foster the same levels of learning without technology, but it is great to have the option available! The only issue is having to weed through websites to get to the great ones and then determining when is most beneficial to put them into use.

  1. Great point about the Free resources we can find online. Its really worth exploring when you can get so much out of it without the high costs we usually expect to see for educational tools.

  2. I think the total number of websites and tools out there can be a little daunting for a teacher to try and navigate. For every good site out there there are several more mad ones. I think it's important to make sure teachers thoroughly investigate what tools they want to bring into the classroom before they do.
