Beth Dichter's insight:
Where will technology make the biggest impact on education? This post shares nine areas, based on research, where the use of technology is making an impact.
What are the ten areas? Below is a list of the top five. Find additional information on each by clicking through to the post, as well as links to other resources.
1. Critical Thinking - In this area four kinds of thinking are discussed: Analogical, Expressive Experiential, and Problem Solving.
2. Mobile Learning
3. Access to Education
4. Continuous Feedback
5. Unlimited and Immediate Learning
Please note that the title on the post days there are ten areas, but number four is missing in the document (or there are only nine areas). I renumbered the areas above so that they are consecutive.
This post relates to the readings because it talks about the way critical thinking is important to acquiring knowledge and how technology affects our learning. One of the significant aims of education is to produce learners who are well informed, that is to say, learners should understand ideas that are important, useful, beautiful and powerful. Another is to create learners who have the appetite the appetite to think analytically and critically, to use what they know to enhance their own lives and also to contribute to their society, culture and civilization.
