Thinking Skills & Creative Problem Solving: How to use them in everyday classroom teaching
Learning & Teaching
Thinking, and thinking creatively, is a natural function. So what is it that gets in the way that stops this natural process from working? In a school system in which it is reputed that some teachers ask 90% of the questions and also answer a similar amount, there is a culture which doesn't promote this process.
By looking at the barriers to thinking and then creating ways of removing them we can then look to formulating a system where thinking skills become entwined and an integral part of the curriculum.

Using Technology Cost Effectively
Learning & Teaching
For teachers and learners technology can offer savings. Because online resources are widely available they can deliver personalised and differentiated learning cheaply.
