7. Powerpoint Thoughts

     I hadn't heard of Bloom's Taxonomy was before this blog post. Bloom's taxonomy helps distinguish fundamental questions in the education system. There are different levels such as; create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand, and remember. It would be beneficial to use each level to better teach a lesson. A powerpoint could help bring up topics of discussion for evaluation, produce concepts for synthesis of ideas, analyze and break down concepts from the textbook, students can apply their new ideas through powerpoint, they can better understand the lessons through pictures on the slides, and the powerpoints can be posted online for students to be able to remember the content later. 
     Adaptive Learning Technologies are used to help students with learning disabilities and also 
physical and mental disabilities. These technologies can be simple tools, like spell checker for the 

learning impaired, and also much more involved, like the joy stick for visually impaired. Students 

who are blind could use brail printers and speech application programs instead of typing. An issue 

could arise when teaching younger students, because the kids who do not need these adaptive 

technologies may want to use them, and not understand why they dont get to use them. 

     My web page assignment was really hard for me at first. I am not great with new programs, nor do 

I typically adapt well to them. But Weebly became almost second nature by the end. I think the end 

effect is visually appealing, and a great way as a teacher to get in touch with parents, send out 

information, and give students the resources they need for assignments. I did not like the aspect of the 

program at first, but once I realized how to navigate and use the design, it became almost simple. I 

am unable to post a screenshot of my page because my laptop does not have a print screen button. 

But here is a link. Enjoy!!!     http://burrough.weebly.com/ 


P.S., I do not know why the spacing is funky in this post. I apologize!
