This document discusses using Smartboards to promote higher order thinking skills. It provides a progression from novice to advanced Smartboard use, starting with teacher-centered display of notes and resources, then engaging students more by posting notes online and using software features. The most advanced level involves designing lessons around higher order thinking, involving students in creation of content, and using differentiated instruction. It also includes examples of how to incorporate Bloom's taxonomy of critical thinking skills into Smartboard lessons.
