Hey everyone,
Diigo has been very interesting to work with these through the last GICAs that we did. It was a program that I never knew about or even heard of. Diigo for me is great cause allows for a group to crowd source resources and articles. This would allow teachers to use crowd sourcing in their career more with both students and other teachers. I can see apply what we use Diigo for in our GICAs in a regular classroom with whatever topic we are working on, so they can see how to use the program and how they can work together to retrieve and annotate possible sources for a project or paper. The ability to comment on others annotations is also a really good way students to work together and talk about sources.
Bloom's Taxonomy in lesson creation can be boosted through technology, to prove this, I will go over how PowerPoint can help at each level of the Taxonomy chart.
Being up to date with technology innovations is very tough for teachers to do. This can be due to different experiences with technology in the classroom, if a teacher is not use to working with new tech in their classroom, why would they always be on top of whats coming out? Even with this, all teachers now that education and students are evolving to be more accustomed to tech therefore teachers need to know what is going on so they can also adapt to the environment. The resource I found was a website called EdSurge, this website is dedicated to educational technology in all capacities and has articles about the tech and how to use it in classrooms. This can allow teachers to get an overview of something before they try it out themselves. \

- Create: PowerPoint assignment are a great way to put the students in the shoes of the teachers and give them the chance to see how they would teach something to their peers. I have had countless assignments where I use PowerPoint to get it done.
- Evaluate: Using the PowerPoint, a teacher can allow students evaluate what the info is telling them by utilizing certain layouts to spark a discussion in their head. for example having two separate body boxes can allow students to see two sides of a argument or topic.
- Analyze: PowerPoint not only allows the presentation of the info but allow you to analyze of that info for the students to see what the bigger picture is. Using more innovate PowerPoint presentations you can allow the PowerPoint to visually show your students the analyzing.
- Apply: PowerPoints area great way to show your students how to make a desgin or lesson of their own. So they can apply what they learned about PowerPoint and try it out themselves
- Understand: Powerpoints allow students to understand concpets by the way it is laid out and create by their teacher or themselves.
- Remember: This is the most fundamental part of Bloom's taxonomy and it fits PowerPoints the best. For the most part in many of your classes, PowerPoint will be the thing that you present all the info in in which you hope that your students will remember again when needed.
