Personal Computing: A Source of Powerful Cognitive Tools
Helga A.H Rowe
Cognitive tools help learners with complex cognitive learning activities and critical thinking. These tools are learner controlled: They construct their knowledge themselves using the tools rather than memorizing knowledge.
Examples of these cognitive tools are Inspiration (which requires students to mind map), databases, spreadsheets, semantic networks, expert systems, communications software such as teleconferencing programs, on-line collaborative knowledge construction environments, multimedia/ hypermedia construction software, and computer programming languages.
