Week 11: Creating critical thinking in students

The article “Critical Thinking and Technology” consist and explain how as teachers, we can create a critical thinking on students through different ways such as presentations, computer, pictures, make questions in classes, etc. I think this article is very interested, informative, and helpful for teachers and future teacher because it can help us to start creating critical thinking in the students. Many times the teachers are focus just in make students to acquire information, topics, words to repeat and memorize leaving critical thinking aside. So it is important the students start to create a critical thinking; they must start to generate questions and ask themselves about everything to avoid be guides blindly by anyone, and we as teachers have to foment this in our students.

I think every teacher should know about this article as well as the different ways to general critical thinking through technology. Using visual learning and sources, internet, motivation, and question are some of the ways that we can use to achieve this, and now thanks to the technology, there are different sources that can become easier to achieve this in the students. 

A question that I still have is How can be this fomented in teachers? Because teachers have the task of creating critical thinking in students, but who has the task to make teachers do this? The government or the ministry of education? I think is important to start from teachers if it wanted to achieve critical thinking in students.
