Bloom’s Taxonomy
PowerPoint is a widely
used tool in all aspects of education. It aligns fairly well with Bloom’s Taxonomy.
The first level is ‘remember’, which is recalling basic concepts and facts.
PowerPoints are a great way to list key concepts and easy for students to be able
to go back and learn these more in depth. The next level is ‘understand’, which
is explaining and describing these concepts. PowerPoint gives plenty of space
for concepts to be explicitly described. Next level is ‘apply’. This is really
the only level I see difficult for PowerPoint to be able to execute. This section
is used to solve and interpret information. It may be hard to use this platform
to solve, but I am not an expert so maybe there are way to complete this level
as well. The next two levels are ‘analyze’ and ‘evaluate’ but both a widely
used in PowerPoint. You can draw connections among concepts (analyze) and use
these connections to evaluate the conclusions (evaluate). Lastly, create. PowerPoints
has many creative ways in order to design and construct different projects.
WebQuest
The WebQuest assignment
was a very cool assignment that I thoroughly enjoyed creating. I have experience
creating a website for one of my high school classes, so this wasn’t new territory
for me. But it was a great refresher on creating websites which will definitely
be useful for the future. For next time, I would want to elaborate more on the
material I provide and be more creative with making the website relatable to the
younger generation.

I commented on Hayley’s
Blog (2/26), and Morgan’s Blog (2/26).
Your WebQuest was super cool and helpful! It looks like you put a lot of thought into it and I could definitely take some pointers to add to mine for the future! As for Bloom's Taxonomy, we discussed very similar things and it helped me to check my own work. Great blog post!
ReplyDeleteYour WebQuest looks absolutely amazing! I love the designs you used in it and I'm sure the students would have an amazing time with it. I love the concept of making it relatable to the students and it's definitely something I need to work on. What a creative way to increase motivation. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou're quite right about PowerPoint- it is such a helpful tool for presentations, and it can easily be used to align with Bloom's taxonomy for student learning. I love your WebQuest! It looks so fun!
ReplyDeleteMallory,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog post. I agree with your idea that PowerPoint and Bloom's Taxonomy line up very well. I also agree that I wish I would have made my WebQuest more elaborate and personalized.
Great Job!
Hi Mallory!
ReplyDeleteI loved the way in which you went through each of Bloom's Taxonomy criteria, it helped to illustrate your point very well! I also utilized the image you provided in order to reflect upon my lesson plan :) I also totally agree with you on the Webquest assignment, I hav learned those skills in the past as well. Great post! - Liz
Hey Mallory! I liked your blog post this week. Your interpretation of the DID model was very well made, your standards were made very clearly and you put in a lot of detail. I also LOVE your website you made for the Web Quest assignment, it's adorable! I liked how you commented on making your content inclusive to younger age groups, technology is developing so rapidly that kids are going to have to become technologically literate at earlier ages so making content accessible to them will help them earn those skills!
ReplyDeleteHi Mallory. I think your use of powerpoint is such a great way to teach and engage your students while adhering to blooms taxonomy stages. I also love the look and layout of your website! It's so cute and really well put together!
ReplyDeleteHey Mallory! I absolutely love your webquest design. I feel like while the webquest should be informative it should also be something teachers should have fun with. That's the best way to stay relatable to the students.
