Should You Flip Your Classroom? | Edutopia - 1 views

  • flipped instruction is by no means a new methodology
  • At its core, "flipped instruction" refers to moving aspects of teaching out of the classroom and into the homework space.
  • We must strive to be facilitators, mentors and guides for our students, as if what we are preparing them for, much like my surgeon, will one day change lives. Any teaching methodology that amplifies this role is a step in the right direction.

Bloom's Taxonomy - 0 views

  • In 1956, Benjamin Bloom headed a group of educational psychologists who developed a classification of levels of intellectual behavior important in learning. During the 1990's a new group of cognitive psychologists, lead by Lorin Anderson (a former student of Bloom), updated the taxonomy to reflect relevance to 21st century work. The two graphics show the revised and original Taxonomy. Note the change from nouns to verbs associated with each level.
