Where MOOCs miss the mark - 0 views

  •  
    This discusses the world-wide impact of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) but also where they fall short. They lack the relationship between teacher and student which can be so important to learners. In fact, they said that less than 10% of those who sign up for MOOCs actually complete the course. The access to such a great opportunity to learn is wonderful, but not sufficient for all.

20 Bloom's Taxonomy of apps2 |1 fiPad Curriculum26 | Diigo - 1 views

  •  
    An Interesting "brochure" categorizing Ipad apps using Blooms taxonomy of thinking skills; remembering, understanding, creating,  applying, evaluating & analyzing. A handy guide for how to use in the classroom.
  •  
    I am glad for the realistic easy viewing of Bloom's taxonomy of skills. Using the iPad in the classroom it is a good quick reference to see what apps I am already using and promoting that my students use as well as which apps I would like to promote with enhancement of other skills.
  •  
    I am not sure I agree with the categorization on many of these and I definitely do not think it is all inclusive. It is interesting though.
