__Here is an example:__ [|MindTools] (submitted by RS) Related skill: //Problem Solving and Critical Thinking Skills// MindTools is a site that offers a variety of resources and articles to expand your understanding of various skills. For example, under Problem Solving--Introduction there is a link that explains how to create Flow Charts. Some of the tools, such as the Flow Charts example, are free while others are for paying members only. There are sections for other skills besides Problem Solving also, such as Communication Skills, Information Skills, and Decision Making. The site is designed for people already in the workforce. However, many of the tools could be used to help prepare middle or high school students for their careers. For example, the Cause and Effect Diagrams section teaches brainstorming and concept mapping techniques that include helpful visuals. These are generic skills that can be used in a variety of subjects.
