The document discusses using IT-based projects to develop higher-order thinking skills through a constructivist approach. It outlines four types of projects: 1) Resource-based projects where students research a topic and organize information; 2) Simple creations where students develop skills like analyzing and synthesizing by making simple software; 3) Problem-solving projects where students solve real-world problems; and 4) Web-based projects where students create websites on topics. The goal is to move from a traditional teaching model to one where students facilitate their own learning through inquiry and discovery with teacher guidance.
