You can learn quite a bit on this website. You need a picture of yourself...first. ;) Writing back to people and taking part in their discussions and blog posts will also help, because many people here have some experience with some of the thinking skills.

Yes, there are also some thinking tools on this website that you can learn from for free online. Go to the heading in the black navigation bar across the top where it says "forum". Then below the featured discussions, you'll see one that has the word "thinking tools" in a tiny link in green. Click on that link and this will take you to a section where thinking skills can be practiced and learned.

There's also an interesting outline of CoRT thinking skills that will help you get a framework for what you are learning at http://www.cortthinking.com that is interesting to check out.
