Bloom's Taxonomy

Every level of Bloom's Taxonomy is essential in the classroom. We want our students to be able to use all of the six levels: Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. Cognitively, students are all at different levels within the classroom. As future teachers, it is important to know and understand each level. Students will be able to learn by doing, whether it be with partners, individually, on computers/technology, etc. Bloom's Taxonomy is very important to learn as we get closer and closer to having our own classroom.

Hands-On Math

As we grow as math teachers, it is so vital that we learn new activities that can be used in the classroom. Students learn by doing. Therefore, it is so important that we stress using hands-on activities. We want our students to be active in the learning. Instead of sitting in the front of the classroom and lecturing, walk around and hear the conversations that are happening within cooperative group learning. Students will gain so much more out of discussing and finding their own results by doing the activities. Allowing students to explore and be engaged is also important. The link below not only has math but incorporates all subjects. This website is full of hands-on activities that students will be able to use in the classroom. It also divides the activities up by the areas of math.

Technology in the Classroom

I think integrating technology in the classroom gives students and teachers more opportunities to learn then ever before. Teachers should take the technology that is offered and use it in every way possible to benefit and meet every students needs. Technology offers a wide variety of options to use to meet students who are kinesthetic, visual, auditory or even a combination of all of these learning styles. The world of technology continues to grow each and everyday. Teachers need to be able to learn how to use technology so that they can properly teach their students. This website is a great way to help incorporate technology into the classroom. Also this video is a great way to look at a classroom that has technology incorporated within.
