Blooms Taxonomy is used as a learning tool in school from kindergarten to year 6. This is a great way to allow for students individual needs to be met in relation to their different learning abilities. Blooms taxonomy as a digital tool allows Second Life, Flicka and Bubbl to be linked to the tools used in Blooms. For example: using the tool creating in Blooms, would allow for the webtool Bubbl to be utilised in the classroom, as this encourages mind mapping in all different grades.
The Web 2.0 course has allowed me to examine and explore webtools that I had never heard of, let alone explored before. Completing each module slowly allowed me to implement things I had learned in my kindergarten class and also implement webtools on the Kindergarten wiki, we had created before this course began. For example I created a voki for the kindergarten wiki which the children loved. It introduced the wiki in the wizards voice.
I also discovered that each webtool is easy to use and will link to the subjects we teach in all grades. For example, digital storytelling allows children to share the story they have written through podcast and animations. This is great as these webtools focus on children’s individual learning styles and needs.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and feel that it has benefited me as a teacher in a 21st Century classroom as it has guided me thorugh webtools that will benefit myself and the children in my class’s learning.
