= ﻿How can we use the Thinker Keys in EOTC? = = = ﻿Because Ryan's thinker keys encourage children to think creatively across the curriculum, they can also be used effectively with EOTC (education outside the classroom). Many of the activities that you can create using the thinker keys can be adapted to fit any area of the curriculum and no matter what the focus of the EOTC is, it is possible to create meaningful activities that encourage students to think creatively and in a different way to what they are used to.
