I have found a very cool website I would like to share with you all. It is located at
http://members.shaw.ca/priscillatheroux/critical.html

Enhancing Learning with Technology is a site that focuses on how to use technology to help teach critical thinking skills. The site is well laid out with clearly defined links. The links are all working and titled appropriately so as to let the reader know the content of the link. The home page of this site is relatively short in content. Although the research, which the website is based on, is linked in the first paragraph and is 49 pages longs. Each of the links in the left boarder are full of ideas and lessons to help teach a specific topic to help promote critical thinking skills with using technology tools.
The site has a biography of the author, Priscilla Theroux, along with a link to contact the author with questions or concerns. Although the site was begun in 2004 it is updated with new and exciting links.
I have found the lessons to be well thought out and numerous. The lessons are created by teachers who have had the opportunity to try them and edit them as needed. There are lessons which promote critical thinking skills in all core areas of education as well as in a few elective areas. There are also links with research conducted by other people, companies, educational institute which supports that using technology to promote critical thinking skills address many of the different leaning styles. The research includes topics such as brain research, paradigm shift, educational theory and philosophy of differentiation.
