Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives - 0 views

  • 1. Knowledge (Remembering previously learned material)
  • Mathematics: State the formula for the area of a circle.
  • 2. Comprehension (Grasping the meaning of material)
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Mathematics: Given the mathematical formula for the area of a circle, paraphrase it using your own words.
  •  3. Application (Using information in concrete situations)
  • Mathematics: Compute the area of actual circles.
  • Mathematics: When you have finished solving a problem (or when a peer has done so) determine the degree to which that problem was solved as efficiently as possible.
  • 4. Analysis (Breaking down material into parts)
  • 5. Synthesis (Putting parts together into a whole)
  • Mathematics: Apply and integrate several different strategies to solve a mathematical problem.
  • 6. Evaluation (Judging the value of a product for a given purpose, using definite criteria)
  • Mathematics: Given a math word problem, determine the strategies that would be necessary to solve it.
  •  Bloom's use of the term application differs from our normal conversational use of the term. When working at any of the four highest levels of the taxonomy, we "apply" what we have learned. At the application level, we "just apply." At the higher levels, we "apply and do something else."
  • The main value of the Taxonomy is twofold: (1) it can stimulate teachers to help students acquire skills at all of these various levels, laying the proper foundation for higher levels by first assuring mastery of lower-level objectives; and (2) it provides a basis for developing measurement strategies to assess student performance at all these levels of learning.

You have several of mine but some that I would like to add would be:1) Wordle - http://wordle.net - Effective and fun way to create word clouds, for introducing new topics and subjects, reviewing information, or just designing your world with words.2) Joggle - http://beta.joggle.com/ - Excellent tool for creating slide shows for student project presentations, for teaching multimedia lessons in class, or online presentations. You can embed movies straight onto your website. It is free and joggle hosts your movies.AND MY NUMBER ONE (For today anyway) - Jing - http://www.jingproject.com/ - Snap a picture of your screen, Record video of onscreen action, and share instantly over the web, IM, email, or embed straight onto your own website. THIS IS SO COOL! Jing is free and allows you to record screencasts, with audio, and save the files as a swf, or if you pay for the pro version, mp4 files. Jing also has automatic uploading capabilities with Screencast.com (So I guess I am recommending screencast.com too!) I am using jing to record lectures and upload to my website. This is very cool!
