Marion Goldstein has been involved in the evaluation and classroom implementation of educational technology resources for eight years. Her primary research interest relates to how emerging communication technologies can promote the development of critical thinking skills among adolescent learners, in particular skills of argumentation and inquiry. Her research has shed light on how to design online environments and interactive tools to promote these skills and to foster metacognitive thinking, student interactions, and collaborative knowledge building. Dr. Goldstein holds an Ed.D. in Educational Technology from Teachers College, Columbia University, as well as an M.A. from New York University and a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania.
