Critical thinking skills enable students to be creative and innovative. If such skills are not fostered in the classroom, future leaders and employees will lack same skills in the workplace.

Educational podcasting
Educational podcasting can be a creative way to capture learners' imagination and make learning exciting. It can also be an effective way of presenting instructional materials and providing resources in an audio format,
called podcasts or in an audio-visual format called video podcasts. This emerging technology provides a way of
sharing and transmitting audio for teaching and learning in schools and at home.
to record, produce and publish on the Internet. One can upload a lesson
with images that change at predetermined times when the podcast is played and
hyper links to websites. You can also easily move to different chapters in the
podcast, a feature used extensively in audio books.
This week I used a number of pocasts sites to learn more.
Access these sites and learn more
using SMART Boards in the classroom at http://pdtogo.com/smart/
I subscribed to Inside Higher Ed
at http://www.insidehighered.com/audio
and was fascinated and at the same time surprised by the debate on teaching
with technology on the Udacity
Project http://www.insidehighered.com/news/focus/teaching-and-learning.
I listened to Candace Thille, director of the Open Learning Initiative and
a leading advocate of intelligent teaching software, talk to Inside Higher Ed
tech reporter Steve Kolowich about massive open online courses, data, and about
how students learn.How can people oppose technology that is aimed at expanding access and lowering costs?
Delicious bookmarking
Delicious bookmarking site can be used together with wikis and blogs for project planning and by the teacher for effective support of group activities. Unlike tagging a link on a web browser, one can personalize a social bookmarking site, and access it anywhere there is internet access or through other social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Social Bookmarking
A cool way
for saving that website that you landed on by some flux but liked what you found, is to use Social Bookmarking. As a method for storing,
organizing and sharing favorite websites online, it is very effective. One such tool is Delicious. Teachers and
learners with no or little knowledge or experience of using social bookmarking
tools can use it for collaborative projects and research which can benefit
learning and teaching through its features of space and group activities. see and join mine here
