Bloom's and ICT tools Many teachers use Bloom's Taxonomy and Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in developing and structuring their teaching & learning experiences. Bloom's Digital taxonomy is an attempt to marry Bloom's revised taxonomy and the key verbs to digital approaches and tools. This is not a replacements to the verbs in the revised taxonomy, rather it suppliments and supports these by including recent developments, processes and tools. Files Web 2.0 Tutorials Without a doubt one of the best resources on the web for web2.0 Technologies is the commoncraft show.
bloom’s digital taxonomy We know that one of tools sets we can develop in our student are the HOTS – Higher Order Thinking Skills. Teaching HOTS and use of timely, appropriate feedback provide the best learning outcomes for our students. To be able to use Higher Order Thinking Skills we must, MUST, encourage questioning. To facilitate good formative assessment we must encourage questioning. We must develop a classroom environment where asking questions is encouraged and rewarded. source: I am sure all of us have heard the phrase “there’s no such thing as a dumb question” and its true. If we get the same student asking us time and again the “dumb question” then its time for me as an educator, to reflect on my communication. What is their learning style? Our “Dumb question” asking students is often taking a huge risk, they are inviting ridicule and drawing attention to themselves. I suspect that there is a stigma associated with asking questions. So,
Secondary Magazine - Issue 106: Key Ideas in Teaching Mathematics In this and subsequent issues, the Secondary Magazine will feature a set of six articles, written by Anne Watson, Keith Jones and Dave Pratt, the authors of the recent publication Key Ideas in Teaching Mathematics. While not replicating the text of this publication, the articles will follow the themes of the chapters and are intended to stimulate thought and discussion, as mathematics teachers begin to consider the implications of the changes to the National Curriculum. This article is the second in the series and focusses on Geometric and spatial reasoning in Key Stage 3. Future articles will feature Statistical reasoning, Place Value, Algebra and Probabilistic Reasoning. The previous article focussed on similarity, ratio and trigonometry in Key Stage 3. The geometry curriculum for Key Stage 3 makes use of the word “derive” quite often. A further challenge is the breadth of approaches to geometry that need to be incorporated into teaching.

Bloomin' Apps This page gathers all of the Bloomin' Apps projects in one place.Each image has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for iPad, Android, Google and online tools and applications to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.I have created a page to allow you to share your favorite online tool, iOS, or Android app with others. Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".

Secondary Teacher Page Current Geometrical reasoning can involve coordinate geometry and properties of 2d and 3d shapes, and may even lead to algebraic representations. These problems invite you to explore geometry in a variety of contexts. Coordinate Patterns Stage: 3 Challenge Level: Charlie and Alison have been drawing patterns on coordinate grids. Route to Infinity Stage: 3 and 4 Challenge Level: Can you describe this route to infinity? Marbles in a Box In a three-dimensional version of noughts and crosses, how many winning lines can you make? Kite in a Square Stage: 4 Challenge Level: Can you make sense of the three methods to work out the area of the kite in the square?
15 Underrated Apps Every Entrepreneur Should Use Whether you have a tech question or a fashion concern, there's probably an existing app that can help you out. But frankly, with all the apps out there, it's easy to get stuck with the same icons on your home screen — and never so much as click on the newer ones that would benefit your business most. That's why we asked 15 successful young entrepreneurs to share their go-to yet underrated app of choice. Here's what they had to say. 1. We all know our habits ultimately determine our lives and destinies. - Jonathan Mead, Playbook 2. If productivity and growth are important to you, Strategic Coach's free iPhone app WinStreak is helpful. - Charles Gaudet, Predictable Profits 3. Until Apple decides to make the search function useful for iPhone users, CloudMagic is an indispensable search engine for all your data. - Patrick Vlaskovits, The Lean Entrepreneur 4. The most under-utilized app right now is Venmo. - Rameet Chawla, Fueled 5. My favorite app is Brook (currently in beta). 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Teaching Math to People Who Think They Hate It A popular Cornell professor tries to help language-arts types learn how to "make math" instead of just studying it. The author's son and husband take the scalene triangle challenge. (Jessica Lahey ) Math has never been my strong suit. I follow Steve Strogatz on Twitter, and while I don’t always understand his tweets (“Would you like Bayesian or frequentist statistics with that?”) The short answer is that Strogatz has discovered a certain thrill in rectifying the crimes and misdemeanors of math education. Strogatz believes the key to this turnaround lies not in the material, or the inherent talent of the student, but in changing the way math is taught to liberal arts majors. Twelve years of compulsory education in mathematics leaves us with a populace that is proud to announce they cannot balance their checkbook, when they would never share that they were illiterate.
