Technology+To+Support+Higher+Order+Thinking+(JB)

Technology such as Podcast can be used as Higher Order Thinking because it offers the reader a definite, word for word, analysis of what was said. The reader can then go back to it, multiple times if needed, and use it as a reference guide to the subject material. It can guide the listener into a interpretation by the given tone of voice, the examples given, and the level of thinking process that the instructor used when making the Podcast. There are, however, many different tools in technology which can be used for Higher Order Thinking. The key is that they offer a very detailed and concrete point so that the listener has no abstract thoughts as to what information was given, and the listener can go back to the tool and use it as a reference guide.
