Conclusion
As a result of the fact that students can learn these
critical thinking moves, classes can be designed so
that students learn to think and develop skills and
abilities essential to creative thought. Students can
learn to think geographically, economically,
biologically, chemically, in courses within these
disciplines. In principle, then, all students can be
taught so that they learn how to bring the basic
tools of disciplined reasoning into every subject
they study. To sum up, all students can be taught
so that they can create innovative eTwinning
projects by using effectively and improving their
creative thinking skills. We are not so far away from
that fact.
