**Bloom's Taxonomy** Thinking about Thinking

Pohl's
[|Thinking Education Website] [|His thinkers Key's]

Mixing it up!
[|Gifted Students, Thinking Skills and ICT!] Probably one of the BEST for planning using Bloom's, Thinkers Keys, De Bono, Scamper, Also has links to EPals, Webquests, Integrated Projects, Graphic Organisors, Online Projects and MORE!!!!! **(One of my personal all time favorite sites)**


 * Some of the links to the Kurwongbah School Thinking Contracts have now changed.....[|CLICK HERE TO VISIT] their Thinking and Learning Website if the links you click on can no longer be found on the "Gifted Students Site".**

This contract could easily be used in a digital form for students and interactive components could be added to enrich the learning experiences. I would love to see it evolve into a collaborative project between two schools in different countries and have the students engage in rich dialogue to ask and answer their questions.======
