Bloom's taxonomy and English language learners Thinking Skills and English language learners English language learners should be asked critical thinking questions from all levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. Some of the tasks on the taxonomy are difficult for ELLs because they lack the language and vocabulary to work in English. However, teachers need to ask questions from all levels of the taxonomy that are age appropriate and at the English language level of the English language learners. Even very young children can work at the Synthesis and Evaluation levels. Examples at each level below come from Pa Lia's First Day by Michelle Edwards. Level 1: Knowledge. What did Pa Lia's brother do on the way to school? Level II: Comprehension. Why did Pa Lia dawdle on the way to school? Level III: Application. Why did Pa Lia send a note? Level 4: Analysis. How do we know Pa La felt nervous? Level 5: Synthesis. Pa Lia is a new student at school and she has no friends. Level VI: Evaluation. Resource Picks
Drôle de Maths, interface iPad d'apprentissage aux calculs pour enfants Drôle de Maths, logiciel iPad de la section éducation, son non peut laisser perplexe. Est-ce un sous entendu que les résultats seront tous fantaisistes, où que l’on va bien s’amuser avec ? Pour qui a entre 7 et 12 ans et n’aime pas les maths, ce sera vraiment pas drôle d’installer un truc pareil sur l’iPad tant convoité mais si vous montrez un tant soit peu le chemin à la main à l’enfant… il va découvrir une interface entièrement paramétrable où le logiciel saura s’adapter à son niveau pour éviter des frustrations et lui donner plaisir à jouer contre lui-même. Sans être un dieu en Maths, il y a des réglages dans l’application qui laissent perplexe. Pourquoi le mode Difficile ne prend les tables de multiplications que jusqu’à 7 et pas 10 ? Pourquoi le mode Expert donne des multiplications allant jusqu’au 12 alors que les programmes des classes de nos chérubins Français ne vont pas plus loin que le 10 ? A cause des programmes scolaires américains répondent en cœur les développeurs !
Bloom's Taxonomy and a Pen As our school division works on AISI project on Critical Thinking (Alberta Initiative for School Improvement), we are focusing on higher level thinking strategies within our classroom. From the time I started university, we have talked about Bloom’s taxonomy and known the importance of higher level questions. Yesterday though, my colleague and friend, Scott Johnston, did a wonderful presentation on assessment. Knowledge – This would be something simple as “What is a pen? Comprehension – Although a step up from the knowledge level, a question for this could be, “What are some uses for a pen? Application – Now that you know what a pen is used for, how do you use it? Analysis – A pen is more than just one part. Synthesis -This is where you take other knowledge and apply it to the knowledge that you have of the pen. Evaluation – Now looking at the pen and building upon all of the knowledge you have, is the pen the best way to be doing the things that it is currently used for?

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a useful tool for assessment design, but using it only for that function is like using a race car to go to the grocery–a huge waste of potential. In an upcoming post we’re going to look at better use of Bloom’s taxonomy in the classroom, but during research for that post it became interesting how many variations there are of the original work.

My Best of series You can find all of my “Best” lists in broad categories here. The link to that page can also be found at the top right of my blog: My Best Of Series I also have them all on another page where they are listed in the chronological order in which I originally posted them. Two thousand “Best” lists are a lot of best lists! In an effort to make them both further accessible and to update many of them, I began posting “Best Lists Of The Week.” I’ve created about sixty-five of them so far and they encompass a few hundred “Best” lists. You will find these newly categorized lists on a page titled My Best Of The Week, and they’ll be shown as “buttons” (you can see what they look like at the top of this blog post) listed alphabetically (more-or-less). I hope you find the lists, and the way they’re organized, helpful! Please note that I continually update and revise all of the lists.

The Best Tools To Make Online Flashcards There are an incredible number of free sites where you can create and study flashcards online. In reviewing many of them, I looked at this criteria: * Is it available free-of-charge? * Is it easy to use? * Does it provide some “value added benefit” (besides just sticking a word on one side and a definition on the other of a virtual card) that would make it particularly accessble and engaging to English Language Learners and others? I was only able to find three sites that met this criteria, and they’re the ones that made this “The Best…” list. Here are my picks for The Best Tools TO Make Online Flashcards: Study Stack: The online flashcards are indeed very basic (and very easy for both students and teachers to create). Quizlet is another addition to this list. Memorize.com is not fancy at all, and it’s more complicated than most other online flashcard sites to create anything more than a rudimentary mini-flashcard system. Easy Notecards is a new online flashcard-making site. Related
