Search Engine Duck Duck Go - 0 views

shared by Lisa Allswede on 20 Apr 10 - Cached
  •  
    cute duck! here is the write up from Free Technology site: Duck Duck Go is a search engine designed with clarity and simplicity in mind. One of the ways that clarity and simplicity stands out is when you enter a search term that can have multiple meanings, Duck Duck Go alerts you to that and asks you what you really want to search for. For example, if you enter the search term "duck," Duck Duck Go will tell you that "duck" could be a noun or a verb. (see the screen capture below) Duck Duck Go also provides brief information summaries when you search for topics. This is handy if you're not really looking for a lot of information about a topic, but are just in need of a quick synopsis of a topic.

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.
