In Bloom: Module Five

What are 3 new things you learned?

1. I learned about the connection between SAMR and Bloom’s Taxonomy that will be helpful as I continue to enhance the objectives of the classes that I already teach.

2. I find it much less difficult to write learning objectives when incorporating Bloom’s Taxonomy than just using the ABCD method.

3. There are a number of ways to detect plagiarism in the online environment.

What are 2 insights you have about using Bloom’s Taxonomy?

1. Any discussion of Bloom’s Taxonomy always emphasizes moving to the higher levels. It was refreshing to see in the reading “4 Strategies for Teaching With Bloom’s Taxonomy” the first strategy encouraged teachers to use every level.

2. The “Interactive Bloom’s Taxonomy with Activities” wheel is going to be an essential tool for me to complete my final project as well as be a permanent reference for me going forward in my teaching career.

What is 1 question you still have?

With the midterm now behind us and the final project coming up, the question I have is more related to the course as a whole. Do you have a list of what artifacts need to be included in the E-Portfolio? This is different from the other courses that I have taken in the program. Other than the blog, there has not been the weekly artifact to post to the E-Portfolio. This is also the first time in over twenty-five years that I have taken a midterm. We are halfway through and I still am not sure what exactly is the skills set I am supposed to gain from this course.
