The Intel® Teach Thinking with Technology Course builds on effective technology integration skills. Teachers use free online tools to support the development and assessment of their students’ higher-order thinking skills.
Through Thinking with Technology, teachers learn instructional strategies for addressing and assessing higher-order thinking skills, using technology to support deeper understanding of core content. The goal is for teachers to leave the course with a standards-based unit plan, support materials, and implementation strategies to improve and assess students’ higher-order thinking with the use of free online tools.
Teachers use the following free online tools to sharpen students’ higher-order thinking skills:
The thinking tools are available free online at http://www.intel.com/teachers:
