Thinking Skills for the Digital Generation

This book will synthesize the state of knowledge related to thinking and technology and will provide strategies for helping young people cultivate thinking skills required to navigate the new digital landscape. The rise of technology has resulted in new ways of searching and communicating information among youth, often creating information “overload”. We do not know how the new technologies will affect the ways young people learn and think. There are plenty of warnings about the dangers of information technology. But, there is also enormous potential for technology to aid human thinking, which this book will explore from an open-minded perspective.
