  1. Mindtools and technologyPresenter: wong Lai LengDate : 2 August 2007

  2. Mindtools computer based tools and learning environments that have been “adapted or developed to function as intellectual partners with the learner in order to engage and facilitate critical thinking and higher-order learning”. (Jonassen) http://www.coe.ufl.edu/webtech/GreatIdeas/pages/peoplepage/jonassen.htm

  3. Examples of mindtools • Databases • semantic networks • expert systems and • cognitive simulations for student modeling • multimedia/hypermedia

  4. The role of a mindtool • extend the learner’s cognitive functioning during the learning process, and to engage the learner in operations while constructing knowledge that they would not have been able to accomplish otherwise. • Mindtools enable learners to become critical thinkers.

  5. Jonassen (a constructivist), • mindtools =(diagrams, schematics, flow-charts, virtual reality, and other methods) • Using mindtools to represent knowledge, especially using generic applications to answer higher questions. • Example: let students determine their own pace of inquiry. • he incorporates computer organization, and associated flexibility, in a bottom-up approach to educational thinking.

  6. Theory behind Mindtools – Constructisvisme and 7 principles of good Practice AthurChickering and Zelda Gamson, (1991) • students' active participation, • high expectation performance, • cater to different learning style, • providing immediate feedback, • develop critical thinking skills, • well-planned time manangement, • collaboration and cooperative learning
