Intel® Teach Thinking with Technology Course
The Intel® Teach Thinking with Technology Course offers teachers with intermediate-level technology integration skills (Intel® Teach Essentials Course or equivalent competency) an opportunity to enhance these skills and promote higher-order thinking. This modular course provides face-to-face, hands-on experiences with online thinking tools that engage students and help them to communicate their understanding of complex concepts. Each tool features an online workspace where students create and save visual representations of their thinking.
