Technology & Blooms Technology in the Classroom

1. Remembering

1.1. Using Google to research a topic for class - In my class, students use Mathisfun.com to define words for their personal dictionaries. This taps into the "locate" or "research" part of this level of Blooms Taxonomy

2. Understanding

2.1. Subscribing to a blog that students are interested in. It does not necessarily mean that the student must respond to what is being posted - it's more of being aware of the conversations and learning from what is being posted.

3. Applying

3.1. Kahoot is one of the most effective and engaging activities used in my classroom (I RAVE about it). Students are able to apply their knowledge by playing the game and answering questions in the fastest, most accurate way possible in order to win.

3.2. Think:

4. Analyzing

4.1. This current website, mindmeister, is an example of analyzing in the form of a mind-map. Rather than utilizing the traditional mind-map by hand, students can digitally create one, and share it with myself as the teachers, or their peers, as a tool to study with/make them stronger students

5. Evaluating

5.1. Subscribing to a blog and specifically commenting occasionally. By commenting, both teachers and students alike, are showing that they can internalize the information provided and respond accordingly.

6. Creating

6.1. An example of creation would be video blogging, or creating videos to teach content/ show what a student knows. Platforms such as youtube or vimeo can be used to host these videos. Teachers can post the videos on teacherhub to allow others to see it, and students making videos for class can post it on youtube for other students to see.
