Dennis T OConnor's insight:
Critical thinkiing is an essential 21st Century Skill. E-Learning courses (expecially those with facilitated discussion) are great opportunities for practicing critical thinkiing. Without Critical Thinking, a course can become so boring!

I like this poster. Learning psychology is about explaining or outlining a theory, followed by evidence in the form of research, ending with critical evaluative commentary. This will be helpful for students.

A useful infographic that not only summarises the attributes of a critical thinker but more significantly, provides a 25 point list of actions teachers can invite students to do in learning activities, to stimulate and develop critical thinking abilities. A great poster for your office wall! Delete the scoop?

Since creative and critical thinking can be taught, I wonder why it isn't (in many American schools)?
One of my proudest moments as a classroom teacher was begin called to the principal's office to be accused by an outraged parent of "Teaching my child to challenge authority!"
Ah, a job well done. The satisfaction lasts a lifetime.
