Can you mention what technology which is used in teaching thinking skill? and what the obstacle which may came up in using technology for teaching thinking skill?
Thanks
I think WebQuest, the teachers can give task through WebQuest because the teachers can guide the students to solve the task through the step by step in WebQuest,such as introduction, task, resources,guidence, etc.
In my opinion, each school has different facilities. So, tools is one of the problem. Besides,it depends the students itself whether they want to learn or not.
