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".

Map Making in the Classroom @ ISTE. “Geological Features of Yellowstone” A map created by science teachers in Acalanes Union High School District Teachers are wild about maps. Students are wild about maps. From watching kindergarteners navigate the world to alternative high school students chomping at the bit to take a turn zooming around their neighborhoods and beyond, I have seen Google Maps take kids places. Have you made your own maps in class? If so, what for? If not, can you think of some uses in the class?

This summer at ISTE (an international tech education conference held in San Diego), curious about the current craze over maps in the classroom and in order to check out my colleagues in action, I attended a session on making maps. Here is the recording of the KQED presentation Enhance Science Learning with Online Mapmaking, a guided step-by-step, hour-long workshop on creating maps. 4 great reasons to integrate map making into curriculum: 1. 2. 3. 4. 4 things that can be included in a map: 1.Text 2. 3. 4.Video.

Unlike other websites that cater to wonks who know what WHIP means, Cosby Sweaters takes a refreshing pop-culture angle on the world of sports. Its tagline, “The magic is in the details,” says it all. The site has all the brashness of its namesake, Bill Cosby’s colorful fashion choices. But dig deeper and you’ll find hidden-gem details of every game currently on TV. The site wisely assumes you already know who’s on the court, field or pitching mound, so it has no fear in name-dropping an obscure college player for the sake of airing an insane pick-6 or triple-play video.

Ten Ideas for Teaching Teachers Technology. I had never been to an "unconference" before, but when I heard the organizer of SocialEdCon Unconference introduce the event, I knew I was in for something new: "Write your ideas that you want to discuss on the top of the poster board. Each of you can look at all of the ideas and put check marks beside the ones that interest you, and then that will drive the topics that we discuss today. " I leaned over to my husband, Brad Flickinger, an "unconference expert," and whispered that I'd love to learn more about educating teachers about technology.

He told me to go up and write it down. Fifteen minutes later after the milling crowds of educators thinned out from around the poster boards, I saw my idea surrounded by checkmarks. The organizer announced that Teaching Teachers about Technology would begin in five minutes on the right side of the room, and could the person who wrote the idea down please moderate and share at that session. I gulped! What Did I Share? 1) Show, don't tell. 3) Be "liked. " 50 Best Websites 2012 | Coursera.
