LB #8: Higher Thinking Skills Through IT-Based Projects

There are four IT-based projects conducive to develop higher thinking skills and creativity among learners.
1. Resource-based Projects
    The teacher lets the students find their own facts and information. The teacher simply guides and facilitates.

2. Simple Creations
   Students can also be assigned to create their software materials to supplement the need for relevant and effective materials.

3. Guided Hypermedia Projects
   The production of self-made multimedia projects can be approached in two different ways:
   a) as an instructive tool; and
   b) as a communication tool.

4. Web-based Projects
   Students can be made to create and post webpages on a given topic. But then it could be time-consuming and too sophisticated for the average student. As of now, this creativity project may be too ambitious as a tool in the teaching-learning activity.

  1. The general flow of events in resource-based projects are:

    1. The teacher determines the topic for the examination of the class.
    2. The teacher presents the problem to the class.
    3. The students find information on the problem/questions.
    4. Students organize their information in response to the problem/questions.
