Description
The current cohort of high school students are the first in history to grow up as digital natives. That means they are the first generation to be surrounded by digital media since birth. At a time when information is more available than ever, critical thinking and creativity are at a low in our student populations. In Building Critical Thinking Skills and Infusing Creativity and Creative Thinking Skills into the Gifted and Talented Classroom, Bob Iseminger tackles these tough challenges with practical application for your G/T classroom.
In this 6-hour course, you will learn:
- The definition of critical thinking
- The many types of learning supported by the brain
- Lower and higher level questioning The auditory/sequential and visual/spatial processes of the brain
- Strategies for developing creative thinking
This course is aligned with 2016 ODE Teacher Competencies a, b, c, f, g and NAGC Teacher Preparation Standards 3.1, 5.1, 5.2.

Angela – COLUMBUS CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT (verified owner) –
This course offered many creative approaches to teaching. Most games and activities are very easily incorporated into a classroom and need very little prep other than the content material. They are engaging and will make your students comfortable and part of a team. However, it is very disappointing that on-line viewers do NOT have access to a packet that Iseminger frequently refers to. Had difficulty answering one or 2 quiz questions because they were based on the steps/procedures to an activity that were listed in the packet that I did NOT have access to. This packet needs to be made available for teachers who take this course to use as a reference in their classrooms. It also needs to be made available if you are going to be quizzing on it.
