Bloom's taxonomy has 6 different levels; knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. If my class was reading a book about Goldie Locks and the Three Bears we could follow the order of Bloom's taxonomy. For knowledge I would ask them, "Who was the main character in the story?" and have them make a Powerpoint presentation all about the main character in the story. For comprehension, I would ask them "What was the main idea of the story? What was going on?" and I would probably have a presentation for them about main idea and then incorporating the main idea of our particular assignment was. For application I would ask my class, "What would you ask the main characters in an interview?" and maybe have them conduct their own interview with the main character and make up what they would have them say. And possibly turn it into a powerpoint and record their voice over it such as it would be in an actual interview. For analysis I would ask them, "How does this story relate to you?" For synthesis I would ask, "What would you do to create a different story" And for evaluation I would ask my class, "What choices would you of made if you were in the story?" Hopefully by following the bloom's taxonomy way it would help my class understand the story Goldie Locks a lot better and hopefully all the other stories. It would give them something exact to follow and questions that would help them dig deeper into the book.
Adaptive technologies are very important in helping students with disabilities. I have never met anyone personally who had to use adaptive technology but by reading chapter 4 I got a way better understanding of how it can help students with disabilities. Low-Tech Adaptations are usually built into the operating system. Some examples are Sticky keys, MouseKeys, keyboard labels and a keyboard. Some Alternative Output Devices can be screen magnification software or screen readers. Students with disabilities need the same opportunities as students without disabilities they just have different needs and adaptations to get there!
The webpage design was my favorite assignment thus far. It was super fun and easy to do! I really think that I will use it in the future and this assignment allowed me to play around with weebly and get to know the website! I really enjoyed learning the ways to make a website. Next time I will work on it longer and have actual class pictures and pictures of my class' work (when I actually have a class) It will however be really helpful in my professional career.
I agree, the web page assignment was by far my favorite so far! I love the ideas that you presented when discussing Bloom's Taxonomy, however I believe the question was focused on how PowerPoint in particular could be used to meet each level of learning. Maybe consider how you can incorporate PowerPoint into the ideas you have already come up with.
ReplyDeleteI like what you have to say about low-tech for adaptations for children with disabilities. I also have to agree with Sarah with incorporating PowerPoint into the great ideas that you have already come up with!
ReplyDeleteI love that you incorporated questions in your blog to relate to Bloom's Taxonomy. I thought the concept was pretty simple but your blog helped me to understand it even more. Your website screenshot looks very interesting. I like the simplicity of it but maybe you could add some more color or pictures.

ReplyDeleteI like the different questions you had for each of the areas of Blooms taxonomy. The web page design assignment was my favorite as well, I really like your website!

ReplyDeleteI love how you used Goldie Locks and the Three Bears to describe how you'd incorporate Blooms Taxonomy! Very good way to engage your students!
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of activities for Goldilocks. Power Point doesn't always have to be a stagnant teacher presentation tool or student project. It works well to create slides "on the fly" with students, recording their thoughts. Good for modeling the tech as well.
