Review of Tools for the Mind

In the article “Tools for the Mind” the author argues that computers are not being used to their full potential to promote higher order thinking. I agree that computers can be a very useful component in helping students with higher order thinking skills. When I was taking an online math class, I found the interactive computer software more helpful in learning concepts than most of my college professors. I liked that I could view 3D graphs from multiple perspectives as well as see how the graph would change by entering new data into the software. As a result, I believe the more we can integrate technology into our classrooms the more successful a student will be.Reference:Burns, M. (2006). Tools for the Mind. Educational Leadership, 63 48-53.
