Abstract
A growing body of evidence highlights the importance of using technology to support critical thinking. This study investigates the influence of digital comics on the development of young students' inclinations towards high-order thinking, proposing a dispositional approach to technology integration with story making. Following the seven thinking dispositions model [7], 18 stories of 4-6 years olds were examined, in order to explore digital comic's potential as a thinking dispositions' development enhancing tool. The findings were positive and promising.
