• …And there are hundreds more…

Tool, tools, tools…BUT

• Example:Audacity : software enables students to create podcasts using just their computers without an internet connection.

The tool is just a technology tool that can be used in different levels of bloom taxonomy . In order to facilitate learning the teacher have to design a task suited to the desire cognitive level.

…oopps…So is this assignment 4 ?

- Just to find websites ?Using google as a search engine- which level in bloom taxonomy is it ?

Assignment=4 - I need clarification...and i wonder [post send to the forum] http://venture-lab.org/education/topics/7650

Assignment=4 - I need clarification...and i wonder [post send to the forum] http://venture-lab.org/education/topics/7650

Hi AllI still not sure i understand what to do with the assignment- Do we have to choose technological tools for each level of bloom taxonomy and search for examples already exist on the internet , or to create our own examples ?For example: if i choose a blog as technological tool, do i have to create my own example to shoh how it can express through an examplr a certain level of bloom taxnomy [remembring, understandig, etc...] ? or just look for examles already exist ?

Weather the answer to the question above, I wonder if the better way to deal with the assignment is to let the pedagogy lead and technology will follow. i mean to choose a specific subjet, to write learning behavioral objectives and skills we want to promote [using verb of bloom taxnomy] and than choose suited technological tools and justify its added values for reaching the objectives.I think the most important is to show what is the added value [if at all?] of technological tools to implementation of bloom taxonomy.On the other hand, i wonder if those new technology tools has a potential to think in a critical way on bloom taxonomy - Can technology change/improve pedagogy ?What do you think ?Dov

- See the discussion

Well…I decided to keep on searching…

This is a different story….Remmeber….

Example: Visual Ranking Tool

The Visual Ranking Tool allows you to order and prioritise items on a list.Students can analyze and evaluate criteria for their decisions and can visually compare their reasoning with others to promote discussion and collaboration.

•Summary•In this unit, students consider how and which inventions have improved peoples’

lives. Students develop criteria in order to substantiate their choices. The Visual Ranking Tool helps students evaluate the impact of inventions and compare their lists with peers. After looking at inventions across history, students can develop their own inventions, using the many tools of an inventor.

•Curriculum-Framing Questions•Essential Question

How does change impact our lives?•Unit Questions

What are the most important inventions?How have inventions improved people's lives?

•Sample Content QuestionHow did a particular invention develop?

What is the process for inventing something?

Example: Visual Ranking ToolImpact of Inventions

Conclusions

• Understand bloom taxonomy [Pedagogy]• Focus on the level you want your students to

demonstrate [Pedagogy]• Search for relevant technology tools [Technology]

• Design [create] a task [Pedagogy]• And…a tip…

TIP

Good stealing is better than bad design
