Critical Thinking Skills & Inquiry Based Learning

Would you like online tools that can help you solve problems, organize your thinking, collaborate with others and reflect on what you have learned? In our efforts to continue to define what it means to enhance "21st Century Education", it is important to emphasize the importance of developing and practicing critical thinking skills. Whether taken from the perspective of independent or collaborative learning, the inquiry based learning process is enhanced when you have effective tools to help you develop your work through out the learning process. Happily, there are wonderful tools today whose sole purpose is to help students organize their thinking process at every stage of inquiry. I have created and attached a mind map which provides examples of different elements of critical thinking and online digital tools students may access for support in the learning process. Enjoy.
