The Blooms Digital Taxonomy Map is a great way to use IT to develop higher order thinking skills that are purposeful and relevant to students. From remembering through the use of mind mapping, understanding through the use of Wikis and creating through Second Life. This map is is a great tool to complement a working classroom program.
Reflection:
The iLearn Model has been a great learning experience for me both as professional development and as a learning facilitator. It was and still is exciting to find so many free applications on the web that can be applied in the classroom and integrated into my teaching and learning experiences. Teaching Stage 2 is the perfect platform on which to explore, learn and create together. This course has given me the opportunity to explore at my own pace web tools that I never knew existed. I can now blog and know what it means. Without this course I would not have had the opportunity to explore and stay in touch with the 21st century. I see the web 2.o tools as complimenting my learning and enhancing my teaching. I want to stay in touch with the 21st Century and evolve with the many online communities on the world wide web.
The blog I commented on was Louise Toigo's blog.
A big thank you to all the team behind Web 2.

Hi Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI liked reading your reflection of the digital taxonomy map. I also use this as a tool for my Gifted students to develop high order thinking skills. It keeps me on track and planning well for the students. Wiki does show us that they understand the information and creating is then up to themselves.Their creativity always astounds me. Thankyou for sharing. Wwe seem to be moving in a similar direction.
