10. Tool, tools, tools…BUT

11. • Example:
Audacity : software enables students to create
podcasts using just their computers without an
internet connection.
The tool is just a technology tool that can be
used in different levels of bloom taxonomy . In
order to facilitate learning the teacher have to
design a task suited to the desire cognitive level.

12. …oopps…So is this assignment 4 ?
- Just to find websites ?
Using google as a search engine- which level in
bloom taxonomy is it ?

Hi All
I still not sure i understand what to do with the assignment- Do we have to choose
technological tools for each level of bloom taxonomy and search for examples already exist
on the internet , or to create our own examples ?
For example: if i choose a blog as technological tool, do i have to create my own example to
shoh how it can express through an examplr a certain level of bloom taxnomy
[remembring, understandig, etc...] ? or just look for examles already exist ?
Weather the answer to the question above, I wonder if the better way to
deal with the assignment is to let the pedagogy lead and technology will
follow. i mean to choose a specific subjet, to write learning behavioral
objectives and skills we want to promote [using verb of bloom taxnomy]
and than choose suited technological tools and justify its added values for
reaching the objectives.
I think the most important is to show what is the added value [if at all?] of
technological tools to implementation of bloom taxonomy.
On the other hand, i wonder if those new technology tools has a potential to
think in a critical way on bloom taxonomy - Can technology change/improve
pedagogy ?
What do you think ?

14. Well…I decided to keep on searching…
This is a different story….Remmeber….
