Teachable: Top Quality Teaching Resources Bloom's Taxonomy Bloom's wheel, according to the Bloom's verbs and matching assessment types. The verbs are intended to be feasible and measurable. Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. It is named for Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee of educators that devised the taxonomy, and who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals. Bloom's taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community. History[edit] Although named after Bloom, the publication of Taxonomy of Educational Objectives followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations.

Ipads In The Classroom – Christmas Reflection - Keith Rispin » Keith Rispin A student asked me last week if I was going to “do the iPad thing next year” and strangely I said yes without hesitation. You would think after all the frustrations I have had and all the bellyaching I have done over this little digital device, I would have at least gave him a five second “ummmmmm” before I answered. When I think about it though, it is a no brainer. I have been given the opportunity by the powers that be, to break new ground in the brave new world of education. Plus, I love technology! As much as I would love to say that the iPad experience has been GREAT! Kidding! We did do a number of good things this term and I will share at some point, I promise but it seems that people want to know about our difficulties so they can steer clear of them or fix them. With all that said, in keeping with the pointing out the negatives theme, here are my 3 biggest issues up until Christmas Break. This wasn’t necessarily a bad thing and we actually learned something from it: Cheers!
Free Technology for Teachers The Montessori Great Lesson Page My name is Barbara Dubinsky. I have been involved in the Montessori community for 30 years, through my own children, as an assistant, administrator, Lower Elementary teacher and now as a trainer. Fourteen years ago, I joined the movement of Montessori into the public schools - a most exciting expansion. I teach at a magnet school in Charlotte, NC. It is both challenging and ever so rewarding at the same time. Our school is given much freedom to do what we need to do as Montessorians; we have fought fiercely to have this freedom and have proven that what we do is the best system for children. For many years, as a member of the Montessori Educational Listserv ( listserv@aol.com - write Subscribe Montessori-L in the body of the message) I saw many questions about the Great Lessons themselves and how to keep the work of the Great Lessons active in the class. This year I have finally pulled together all my work into four albums.

The Montessori Goldmine Just Trying to be Better Than Yesterday | …how difficult can that be? When Memorization Gets in the Way of Learning - Ben Orlin I once caught an 11th-grader who snuck a cheat sheet into the final exam. At first, he tried to shuffle it under some scratch paper. When I cornered him, he shifted tactics. "It's my page of equations," he told me. Looking back, I have to ask myself: Why didn't I allow a formula sheet? "What's the sine of π/2?" "One!" So I skipped ahead, later to realize that they didn't really know what "sine" even meant. Some things are worth memorizing--addresses, PINs, your parents' birthdays. Memorization has enjoyed a surge of defenders recently. Certainly, knowledge matters. I define memorization as learning an isolated fact through deliberate effort. First, there's raw rehearsal: reciting a fact over and over. Raw rehearsal is the worst way to learn something. Second, there are mnemonics and other artificial tricks--songs, acronyms, silly rhymes. Such tactics certainly work better than raw rehearsal. So what are the alternatives? First, there's repeated use. This is where cheat sheets come in.
Montessori - Practical Life - Introduction Practical: means basic, useful, purposeful Life: means the way of living. Practical life Exercises are just that, they are Exercises so the child can learn how to do living activities in a purposeful way. The purpose and aim of Practical Life is to help the child gain control in the coordination of his movement, and help the child to gain independence and adapt to his society. It is therefore important to “Teach teaching, not correcting” (Montessori) in order to allow the child to be a fully functionional member in hios own society. Practical Life Exercises can be categorized into four different groups: Preliminary Applications, Applied Applications, Grace and Courtesy, and Control of Moment. In the Preliminary Exercises, the child learns the basic movements of all societies such as pouring, folding, and carrying. In the Applied Exercises, the child learns about the care and maintenance that helps every day life. Children are naturally interested in activities they have witnessed.
