Higher Order Thinking Skills
Using the Internet to Improve Higher-Order Thinking Skills
Dr. Sheila Gersh
City College of New York
The presenter talked about learning styles, assessment, thinking curriculum, and Bloom’s Taxonomy. Her personal website http://www.schoollink.org/twin is full of links to sites that align with the six areas of Blooms. Check out CultureQuests http://www.culturequest.us
Also, she had some really good tips on searching and how to evaluate web sites. I didn’t take notes during this session because the lights kept going on and off. Then the Internet went down supposedly because some exhibitor was hogging up over half the bandwith that NECC had provided. Sort of a chopped up session but the presenter prevailed. Her session consisted mostly of links to go to so you can get all that at her site.
