Students should be given a number and variety of technology resources to use in order to find a solution to their problem, such as internet resources or search engines, communication/email with experts, books, software programs, spreadsheet programs, graphing programs, etc. Students may also be required to conduct their own hands-on experiments or participate in online collaborative research. However, instruction should be given on how to analyze information for bias and accuracy. Students should realize that not everything on internet is true or correct. Since information is not merely presented to students in a lecture format they are required to critically think about it, interact with it, analyze it, and use it to formulate a solution. This type of instruction enhances critical thinking and higher order thinking skills and helps students demonstrate a deeper understanding of content and concepts presented as well as problem-solving process.

Students should also have choices in how their information and solution is presented. Formats such as PowerPoint presentations, posters, brochures, pamphlets, reports, web pages, and movies created with technology can be utilized. Giving students a choice in their final presentations not only allows them to showcase their talents and strengths but allows students to make their own decisions about best ways to present their data to others, which is oftentimes required in workplace.

Incorporating technology into classroom using an active/inquiry-based method enhances skills required for success in 21st century. It requires students to use computer as a tool to gather information, analyze data, and present a solution to a given problem. These are skills that technology rich environments of today emphasize and require; therefore, using technology in this manner will aide students in developing life long skills that can be carried over to workforce
