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 ;-)

skribl: online whiteboard

This is a free, easy to use, on-line whiteboard. You can design shapes with colours, or write your name. You can develop projects with your peers and save them to a file. It's an application that would be handy for some, useful for others and just plain fun for people like me;-)
