The Growing Importance of Critical Thinking in IT education
The webinar is based on the growing importance of critical thinking in IT education. The writer highlighted in the webinar how criticisms are levelled against IT education that the skills learnt in IT could be out of date by the time the student is out of school. The writer posed a rhetorical question; why learn technology skills when that technology might not be in use in a couple of years? The writer emphasized that information technology does not change fast, but the fundamentals of how we design and build systems change at a slower pace.
What we can deduce from the rhetorical question raised by the writer is that, the skills in IT are always changing, updates are being released on regular basis, systems are made to work better and better.
