2. Introduction Constructs an effective educational learning environment by providing: Explanation of learning methods Instructional guides Encourages interactive activities Higher order of learning Creating Evaluating Analyzing Applying Understanding Remembering 3. Remembering Behavioral/Instruction: Teacher focused. Good instruction. Provide action verbs to actively recall previously learned knowledge: Recognizing Listing Describing Retrieving Naming Finding Cognitive/Construction: Student focused. Active construction. Utilize the internet to research similar studies of subject matters. 4. Example of Remembering by association: Being able to find topics, items, etc. which are familiar with the content will grant students the opportunity to associate and process the information to store in his or her long term memory. 5. Understanding Exhibits abilities to interpret, summarize, paraphrase, classify and explain objectives via technology. 6. Bloom's Taxonomy Technology Pyramid.mp4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= ZZHBAXahTGs The video illustrates how Blooms Taxonomy can be effective in the classroom with the proper use of action verbs within the description of each higher order of thinking. 7. Applying Applying Carrying out or using a procedure through executing or implementing. Applying related and refers to situations where learned material is used through products like models, presentation, interviews and simulations. 8. Analyzing Analyzing The process of breaking down material into its component parts (University of Oregon, 2013, pp. 4). Key Verbs Construct, investigate, categorize, separate, compare, contrast, explain, examine, prioritize, correlate, calculate, break down 9. Analyzing Activity State a problem or situation for the audience using statistics. Then challenge the audience to develop a solution to the problem within established parameters. Example: Using the most recent United States Census Data, what conclusions can be inferred about the perceived value of higher education across the population? 10. Evaluate Evaluating: means to judge the method of values and materials a fixed standard. Types of evaluations include Checking Critiquing Experimenting Judging Detecting Monitoring 11. Applying Activities A.) Learning objective: After identifying slip and fall hazards on your college campus, propose preemptive safety fixes to minimize the risk to students. B.) Assessment activity: Learners will create a proposal that identifies the hazards, lists the cause of each hazard, and provides suggestions on how to mitigate the hazard risk. C.) Potential delivery technologies: Learners will participate in a Virtual Classroom discussion to learn how to identify and mitigate potential hazards and how to create effective arguments that support that mitigation. 12. Create Create Develop unique structures and systems to creative thinking operations. Creativity involves all facets of the taxonomy. Designing Constructing Planning Producing Inventing 13. Blooms Taxonomy Game This video illustrates how SMART notebook can be used to create a review game based on the six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =Fe0NvufJM-A 14.
