Technology that Supports Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is something that students must learn as they develop as self-sufficient individuals. Critical thinking skills are necessary to present oneself as someone who can manage various situations. VoiceThread is a Web 2.0 tool that can help students demonstrate their critical thinking skills. Students can upload images or video and discuss many aspects of their uploads and how they relate to a given circumstance. VoiceThread can also be used to point out small intricacies hidden in images or videos. If students are able to point these small items out, then they have truly studied and analyzed the data in front of them.
