The document discusses using IT-based projects to develop higher-order thinking skills. It explains that the teacher creates a learning environment and provides students with tools and resources, acting as a facilitator. Students are presented with a problem and use various information sources to organize their findings in response. Traditional learning focuses on factual information from textbooks, while resource-based learning emphasizes the inquiry process using diverse sources. IT-based projects involve defining tasks, brainstorming ideas, evaluating concepts, taking action, and remaining flexible.
