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".

The governors enlisted the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems to help design the newly envisioned university. Five themes formed the underlying goals of the envisioned institution: The governors also insisted that WGU be affordable, flexible, and student-focused. About Kelly Walsh Print This Post

While I am currently writing a follow up post to my original “Student Affairs Social Media Plan”, I think its time we expanded the paradigm and look at technology as the overall arching umbrella, with Social Media being part of the equation. Today’s post are recommendations on how I would (and currently do) tackle technology in my daily work in Higher Education and how you can make in immediate impact in your respective area. The MACRO VIEW: I. There could be many purposes for this Committee’s formation, including, but not limited to: II. 1.
