Theories of Critical Thinking

Bloom's Taxonomy is something that has always been difficult to teach as a whole group. Making sure all students can work on all levels of the taxonomy is a challenge. Today's technology has made this much easier. Today, we can incorporate the different levels and experiences through technology. This allows each child to work on their level increase as they master each level. Technology is allows students to dig deeper in their learning. Technology allows me to allow my students to explore the internet and find answers to their own questions. This is a skill that will go with them the rest of their lives. I love that through technology my students' can develop a questions, research that question, share with others and create data from a collaborative effort. Technology if always changing and through this students are always learning new things. Technology allows students and teachers alike to do things easier, more efficiently and in different ways. Students always think doing things with technology is more fun than the old fashion way. With this, not all teachers are as open to this change as others. New, younger teachers are usually more open this change. Once other teachers see how the students are learning and enjoying class, others will usually join in. As technology changes, the teachers that are the most resistant to change will eventually not have a choice and will have to junk on the technology band wagon. I enjoyed reading these articles. I think all this information made since and is very true for today. Technology comes with a lot of changes and you either need to jump or or be left behind. Students use technology everyday outside of school and if I can reach my students with technology why wouldn't I?
