Unit+4

=September 23 ... Unit 4/ Week 4 Selecting Web 2.0 Tools and Bloom's Digital Taxonomy and Google Docs/Forms/Presentations… etc.=

Benjamin Bloom 1956 was an educational psychologist who worked at the University of Chicago. He developed a taxonomy of educational objectives. This taxonomy of learning objectives has become one of the key tools in the structuring and understanding of the learning process. He proposed that learning fits into one of 3 psychological domains. The **cognitive domain** where processing information knowledge and mental skills occur, the **affective domain** that includes attitudes and feelings, and finally the **psychomotor domain** were manipulative and manual or physical skills occur.

This week you will learn about utilizing the new digital blooms taxonomy developed by Andrew Churches. You can find more information about Andrew Church at: http://edorigami.wikispaces.com/About+Me

This week we will extensively study Blooms Digital taxonomy and Web 2.0 tools Examining the matches between the taxonomy level in the web 2.0 tool. We will be building rubrics and evaluating rubrics as well as learning about the importance of the selection of a Web 2.0 tool in the lesson planning process. Please keep in mind the Bloom's taxonomy level when planning for our Presentation on the last night of class for our APP/Website Throwdown!
