CriticalThinking.org

I am impressed with CriticalThinking.org. There are critical thinking materials for all educators to consider starting with Kindergarten!

Imagine if you will for just a moment a generation of children to adolescents whose idea of fun is to think. I know it's a bit sci-fi for some of you, but I believe it is possible to take that step and shift with the tide that technology has brought to shore already and give our children (as in part of the village that raises) a stronger foundation based on their own ability to reason and make choices, to discover, examine, explore and understand the world around them and their part in it.

If you have some time check out CriticalThinking.org for ideas of your own ;-)
