Using+Technology+to+Support+Higher+Order+Thinking+(K.K.)

Technology is a good way to support higher-order thinking because students will become more interested in online lessons that involve using technology in order to learn in the classroom. Also, there are certain games involving technology that require students to recall certain facts and use multiple learning techniques in order to gain knowledge. The great thing about technology is students will often become more engaged when using games online instead of traditional methods of learning. Because of being more intrigued, kids will use higher-order thinking and therefore will learn more. Technology can also help by giving a visual representation of things that used to be taught just on paper. Technology also allows interaction to occur.
 * How can technology be used to support higher-order thinking?**

One example of a website that supports higher-order thinking is [|Illuminations]. This is a great website because it uses games in order to get kids involved in certain lessons such as geometry or probability. In order to do well in these games, students must use higher-order thinking and recall what they have learned. This helps students gain more knowledge and use multiple skills they have learned in class. Using interactive games is a great way to move beyond just understanding the information and instead the students become engaged in the information.
 * Give an example of a technology that supports higher-order thinking and be specific in describing how it supports higher-order thinking.**
