In the past two weeks, we have learned in class on how assign a saved bookmark in Diigo a topic. These topics help categorize your bookmarks to make your work more organized. This is helpful for the classroom so that students can go out and find resources on their own, bring them back, and we can discuss in class. In a professional setting, it is a great way for the group to get resources together. Again, the individuals can go out and gain resources on their own, but if they have different projects that they are working on, a specific topic label can help make sure that their work gets recognized by the right group.

PowerPoint can easily be applied to Bloom’s Taxonomy to a Punctuation lesson, for example. You can teach the content to the class so they gain knowledge on the topic and Remember the information. After you simply relay the content on the PowerPoint, you can use a few slides to ask critical thinking questions and give some examples for the class to work on together to get the children to Understand, Apply, and Analyze the content in relation to other things. Towards the end of the PowerPoint, you can give some examples of the content for the class to try on their own in order to get them to Evaluate what type of punctuation would be best for the example sentences. As the very last part of the power point, you can have the students Create their own sentences with their own unique punctuation.

Teachers learn what is new and available through professional development. Development can be done online, in school meetings, or in conferences with people from all over. ELearning is a website to find all the educational trends you need to know about the most current technology trends. This website goes over generic types of educational technology. By knowing the generic terms and types of tech, teachers will better understand what to search for to fulfil a specific need.
