IT for Higher Thinking Skills and Creativity


                  Before , most of the teaching approach is more on achieving learning outcomes following the lower end of Bloom's Taxonomy : knowledge, comprehension and application.It is the memorization, simple understanding and application of concept.I didn't say it is wrong, these 3 is still of a great use but we need  to make our learner as someone who just don't memorize but also who knows how to be flexible, analytical and creative.


                We can achieve this and apply this now in our method / strategies of teaching.Like in IT, they can come up activities or methods proposed for the use of computer based technologies as integral support to higher thinking skill and creativity.To enhance and sharpen the learner's ability.


                     Let us have a learner who not just live in what is solely written in the book he reads, but a learner who knows the book's content and be ready to apply it, can analyze and can come up new things out of it for betterment of the world.


                                     - Happyday

  1. hi,I really like your idea about IT.Students must not just keep on memorizing what they've learned because it is somewhat forgetting.In order for them not to forget they must understand so that they can easily remember and apply.
