Blooms's taxonomy learning in action

Kids are crazy for technology! And it's important to provide early learners with time to simply play, create and use their imaginations. However, teachers must also ensure that students learn to use current technology in this constantly-evolving world.

Kids are crazy for technology! And it's important to provide early learners with time to simply play, create and use their imaginations. However, teachers must also ensure that students learn to use current technology in this constantly-evolving world.

This is what is expected of early childhood teachers to learn about the benefits of integrating technology and how it reinforces key technical skills to thrive in coming ages where technology is becoming a necessity.

Playsheets are a digital worksheet, they should give immediate feedback. Oftentimes they take the form of a game. For example, if you use a website like http://quia.com/web you can input your curriculum questions into a variety of game templates.

This is just a blog post with some thoughts and ideas for my assignment 2 unit plan. It would be a Year 2 English unit plan focusing on understanding and creating informative and persuasive texts, and would incorporate the use of ICT to assist with this.

this is the start of my unit plan for Assignment 2. I'm doing Foundation year, and focusing on a History unit to do with Family trees.

Given students' preconceptions of history as fixed information, cultivating students' interpretive and evidence-based thinking is foundational to advancing their disciplinary understanding. This study examines the ways in which preservice history teachers construct tasks that demand students' interpretive and evidence-based thinking and attend to such thinking in their field placements while being taught to do so in their methods courses. Analysis of methods course assignments, student teaching observations, and assessments of candidates' disciplinary knowledge led to the construction of three cases of novice teachers' efforts to teach these ways of thinking to their students. The one novice who attended to her students' interpretive and evidentiary thinking translated her disciplinary knowledge into lessons that involved analysis of text in developing interpretations and gave general prompts to provide evidence in support of students' conclusions. This study highlights the role of preservice teachers' disciplinary understanding and pedagogical content knowledge in developing students' interpretive and evidentiary thinking in history classrooms.
