How can technology be used to support higher order thinking?

Technology can be used in a variety of ways to support higher order thinking. Higher order thinking includes collaborating, problem solving, and doesn't include just simply recalling information and doing drills. This type of thinking makes the student critically think about the subject matter. Technology in the form of high quality interactive games can be used to get students to start using a higher order thinking process. An example would be a game on WWII that allows you decide on dropping bombs and invading countries.
