Most teachers, whether they are new or a seasoned veteran, are familiar with the concept of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Bloom’s system of classification was developed in the 1950’s and identified six different levels of human thought: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. These six levels move from the least difficult in complexity (knowledge) to the most difficult (evaluation). I was first introduced to the concept of Bloom’s Taxonomy when I was a student teacher. We worked to devise different levels of questions at the various levels of the structure in order to differentiate instruction and meet the needs of all the learners in our classroom. A New Look at Bloom's Taxonomy During the past year, I have been working to complete a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction. The First Level: Remember The Second Level: Understand The Third Level: Apply The third level is application.

Prezi vs Powerpoint « Classroom201X Best way to give a spectacular presentation? This was the first post I wrote about Prezi and it has remained popular. I’ve also written a post asking for suggestions using the tool, which you can find here. Flavour of the month (well, year) in terms of presentations, has been Prezi – an online presentation tool being held up as a being something that you can use to end the infamous “Death by Powerpoint”. Text or Graphics? I think that the key thing to remember is that these are very much different tools, and they have different strengths and weaknesses. Non-linear approaches So, the biggest difference is probably the much-hailed non-linear nature of Prezi against the linear structure of Powerpoint. One possible approach is would be build up a great big bank of resources/links around a topic (almost like a text/reference book) and then set a different path through this ‘forest of knowledge’ for each presentation depending on the audience or the time allowed etc. Over to you….
