More than any technology, igniting higher order thinking in students is in the hands of the teachers. Nothing can replace a best teacher!!!. Therefore, teachers should be bubbling with information when they teach, they manage class room situation, when they prepare a question paper and when they ask a question to a student!!!
According to famous sanskrit verse:
Aaacharyam Aaagachhathi Shishya Doshaha!!!
( It is teacher who is accounted for mistakes of students!!!)
Indeed Jayaram. No two ways about it ! Any tips on teaching higher order thinking minus technology?

Is technology producing a decline in critical thinking and analysis?
As technology has played a bigger role in our lives, our skills in critical thinking and analysis have declined, while our visual skills have improved, according to research by Patricia Greenfield...
Reading for pleasure, which has declined among young people in recent decades, enhances thinking and engages the imagination in a way that visual media such as video games and television do not, Greenfield said.
How much should schools use new media, versus older techniques such as reading and classroom discussion?
"No one medium is good for everything," Greenfield said. "If we want to develop a variety of skills, we need a balanced media diet. Each medium has costs and benefits in terms of what skills each develops."...
"By using more visual media, students will process information better," she said. "However, most visual media are real-time media that do not allow time for reflection, analysis or imagination — those do not get developed by real-time media such as television or video games. Technology is not a panacea in education, because of the skills that are being lost.
"Studies show that reading develops imagination, induction, reflection and critical thinking, as well as vocabulary," Greenfield said. "Reading for pleasure is the key to developing these skills. Students today have more visual literacy and less print literacy. Many students do not read for pleasure and have not for decades."...

There is a very funny but a good learning method, that can be used with or without any technology by a group of any number of students. One student writes the first sentence of a made up short story (8-15 sentences), and passes it to the second student, who adds up one more sentence trying to make it somehow logically connected to the previous student sentence, while the imagination can turn the story in any direction.
Then it is quietly, without disclosing anything to anybody, goes in one or several circles (whatever was a prior agreement), until the entire story of the collective logic and imagination flight is ended in the hands of the last in the circle(s) person, who would read the entire story. Students can be in the class room, or doing it as a homework exchanging the story over the emails in the same chain order.
Great technique in developing logic, synthesis, and imagination skills, if done properly and appropriately.
Hai,
In my opinion, technology can play some major role in teaching learning process. For teaching science subjects, technology can create a virtual lab where students can experience various phenomena instead of just hearing the theories. There are various tutorials and videos are available in internet on such science experiments which may not be affordable to setup in many school/college labs. Students and teachers can make use of it. The ability to think and understand is better if we actually experience them.
Thanks,

The demand for information and communication technologies in teaching students the knowledge and skills they need in the twenty-first century is increasing day after day in all educational systems around the world. The UNESCO International Education Report 1998 describes the fundamental impact that Technology has been used in the development of traditional teaching and learning methods. The report has also predicted a shift in teaching and learning as well as in the access of teachers and learners to knowledge and information, Jia new information and communication in the field of education development must be given to the following basic conditions:
- must provide an opportunity for teachers and students to gain access to digital and technological tools and the Internet to take advantage of them in classrooms, schools and institutes.
- Both learners and teachers must have high quality, clarity and cultural interaction.
- Knowledge and skills needed to use new digital tools and resources should be available to help all students achieve high academic standards.
ICT has been a key factor in shaping the new global economy and making rapid changes in society. In the past decade, ICT tools have changed the way people communicate and how business has been done. They have made important shifts in industry and agriculture Medicine, management, engineering and other fields, as well as their potential to change the nature of education in terms of place and style of learning and the role played by both students and teachers in the educational process.
To make the most of the media and communication technology in education should include:
- provide learners and teachers qualified private ICT skills.
- Develop rehabilitation and training programs, and the creation of new tools and educational sciences in pedagogy.
- Develop special educational programs and institutions to provide specific guidance for the optimal utilization of modern technology within the framework of culture, economic needs and circumstances, develop strategies and plans of the educational process to match the technological developments in the world, and monitor the necessary material resources with the cooperation of the authorities and private and public institutions with each other to serve the educational function that will rise In society in all its functions.
In the last three decades of research in the field of education, the system's vision, which depended on the teacher's effort only and the recipient, has changed. The learner is the basis of the process of teaching and learning. The teacher is just a guide and the view of education is a positive one. Social process, positive positive rather than negative, sequential process integrative and contextual process - a process that depends on the strengths of the learner. A process aimed at finding solutions to problems, and therefore found modern education, according to the opinion of "Don Tabelskot" in his book "Digital Technology" that the real renaissance in the education of the Internet, we are on the threshold of a new era uses technology and digital communication in education, "Radio education" to "interactive learning" in which students are active participants in the educational process.
Thus, technology has made many changes in all aspects of life, as well as changing our expectations of what students should learn to play a role in the new global economy. Students must learn to scale through vast information horizons and gain the ability to analyze and make decisions and adapt to the cognitive domains. Which began to appear in the evolving technological community.
But now our study will be limited to the role of technology and communication in the development of thinking and creativity of the learner, and whether there are clear differences between the traditional way of education and the way to learn technology and its role in lightening the potential of the individual creative.
There is no doubt that scientific and technological progress is subject to intellectual progress and not intellectual knowledge alone. Intellectual progress is the result of the work of reason and enlightenment, leading to creativity, innovation and good management. The role of man in this era is no longer limited to adapting to reality. Indeed, commensurate with the aspirations of the infinite.
This leads us to the need to replace our traditional methods of indoctrination, which seeks to consecrate reality and commensurate with human aspirations, and it is incumbent upon educators to recognize the great role of curricula in the development of thinking among students.
Thinking does not grow without introductions. We, as educators, must nurture the learner and assist him in acquiring the knowledge, skills and information that make him the necessary scientific background in such a way that he searches, verifies, and checks for the operation of his mental abilities. Instead of being passive and passive, he must be active and positive in the process. Education.
This is certainly one of the objectives of the educational process in us to develop the thinking abilities of our students, especially creative thinking, by creating an atmosphere of school activities stimulating students, as well as creating a learning environment learning that the learner active role in it.
Through the use of the computer to implement specific goals to think within the objectives of education with the identification of educational activities to implement and therefore conditions for the development of thinking:
Appreciate your feedback especially on the fact that technology is a key player in academia today.
Thank you and regards
Nowadays, technology play very importantly rules in our life. Teaching is a field that affected by technology and it well by standards in future.
How Does Technology Affect Teens' Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills?
As technology’s role in our lives has increased overtime, our critical thinking and analysis skills have significantly declined during this same time. In other words, technology and critical thinking tend to have a counteracting influence on most people. Unfortunately, this is especially true for young people...

Technology can complement any kind of teaching and learning but it's the duty of the facilitator to make the learners to participate in learning process. Especially in case of teaching HOTS it depends upon how a learner is fully ignited by a simple spark lit by a facilitator... so it's our responsibility to be updated, providing ample opportunity for the learners to explore the given task in the classroom...
Dear @Chalamala has already posted some of this links. We should check previous answers min order to avoid duplicates! It is not heavy task whe you have just 3 pages to check!

The effects of technology on children are complicated, with both benefits and costs. Whether technology helps or hurts in the development of your children’s thinking depends on what specific technology is used and how and what frequency it is used. At least early in their lives, the power to dictate your children’s relationship with technology and, as a result, its influence on them, from synaptic activity to conscious thought.
