How do quality telecollaborative projects develop students’ critical thinking skills (the highest levels on the Bloom’s Taxonomy pyramid)?

       Telecollaboration projects develop students' critical thinking skills by achieving the different levels of Bloom's Taxonomy pyramid. It is important to gain understanding for all levels of the pyramid and for that to happen, telecollaboration projects help students become that level. The article showed effective ways to form groups for the students and also how to go about with them. It was said to group students with all different levels. I agree to that because if you are in a group with students that are on the same level as you, then you don't have a cultural background. By cultural background I mean that you don't have different perspectives to view on some point.
       It is important that students are arranged in groups of all levels so that they are able to work with other people that may be in a level higher/lower than them. Different levels will help students interact with each other, help their social abilities, and assess one another's thoughts. Working in groups for projects really help students level up on the pyramid because working with a group of students really improves their skills to analyze, synthesize, and evaluate on one another's work. That is an essential part of learning how to critique one another and also critiquing their own work. Through telecollaboration projects, all of these levels are attained one by one that will lead every student to the highest level. Print Page in IE
