Thinking Skill and ICT

Hi everyone, me and my partner Mohamad Firdaus Bin Jaafar chose the 3rd topic for our assignment which is 'Thinking Skill and ICT' and you might visit this link to see our discussion Thinking Skills and ICT. (Abdul Rahman Ibrahim + Mohamad Firdaus Jaafar).

From the discussion, my friends and I discussed about how does the use of ICT effect/benefit the students' thingking skill. Well,we figured out that thinking skill consists of cognitive, critical and creative thinking. So, from these three aspect we try to relate with the use of ICT and alhamdulillah. Our discussion went quite well and hoping that more people could participate in it. I think one of the effect/benefit of using ICT to the students thinking skill is they learn how to think critically when trying to look for valid information because as we all know that not everything in the internet can be trust. So, the student have to think critically to identify the best information to be used. Besides that, the use of ICT also trigger the creative thinking of the students' also. For example, the student learn how to use Microsoft Powerpoint to present their idea to the class and with the knowledge they gain, they can present in such interesting way or other word creative. Furthermore, the ICT knowledge can be used through out our life as the students may use the knowledge for other subject as well and not for one particular course. Apart from that, e might say that the ICT such as internet could make the students lazy as everything is at our fingertips. If we think from the positive site, the students might get to know a lot of thing which maybe out of the textbook content and it can open their mind and up-to-date with current issues. The library may provide reliable sources but can we make sure that the books in that building up to the lastest version nowdays and some books might not be available anymore in the library. In conclusion, I agree that the use of ICT really can integrate the students thinking skill cognitively, critically and creatively.
