Lesson 8: Higher thinking skills through IT-based Project

  There are four types of IT-based projects which can effectively be used in order to engage students in activities of a higher plane of thinking.  

(1)The Resource-based Projects, the teacher steps out of the traditional role of being an content expert and information provider, and instead lets the student find their own facts and information.  

(2)Simple Creations,they can create their software materials to supplement the need for relevant and effective materials. 

 (3)Guided Hypermedia Projects is production of self-made multimedia projects can be approached in two different ways: As an instructive tool, such as in the production by students of a PowerPoint presentation of a selected topic. As a communication tool, such as when students do a multimedia presentation like graphs, photos, interviews and video clips.

 (4) Web-Based Projects, students can be made to create and post webpages on a given topic. Creativity projects as tools in the teaching-learning process can be achieved with the assistance of advisers adept in the technical use of Internet Resources.
