Lesson 7: IT FOR HIGHER THINKING SKILLS AND CREATIVITY

The new framework on higher thinking skills and creativity mean that teachers need to assist the students only and not making an extra mile of job just to let them excel in school. What we have to do is to train them on the way that they would be able to incline them in studying and be able to apply the knowledge they have every day so they may not forget the learning. Effort of the teacher is always there but teachers should set their limitations. In our modernization, things are getting different and we have nothing to do but to accept and accept everything because we know that a time will come that this new learning today will be a history of tomorrow and predictably another new learning which is more difficult will come up. Complex Thinking Skills are best achieved using educational technology tools. The word complex means difficult. When we know that a thing is difficult or challenging and we are given enough time to solve it, do we do it alone or what do we do? Some may answer that they made a research on it. Do you go to the library? As we can see most students now, do not go on scanning books, they use the internet and surf. So, when we want to achieved complex thinking skills, we need to be submissive to the new learning and new technology. This is the new trend; we do not have a choice but to embrace it. Having a complex thinking skill is having a flexible and creative mind.
