"Bloom's Taxonomy"

Many teachers use Bloom's Taxonomy and Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in developing and structuring teaching and learning experiences for their students. Bloom's Digital taxonomy is an attempt to marry Bloom and the key action verbs to digital approaches and tools. This page looks at some specific examples of tools (This is mainly PC based) and attempts to match them to Bloom's Digital Taxonomy"

Continuous improvement is “about redesigning processes to be more efficient,” said Fred Bentsen, senior vice president of sales and marketing for APQC Education, the school-focused arm of the nonprofit American Productivity and Quality Center."

In Quarter 2, we focused on continuously collecting mastery scores (real-time student achievement data) and adjusting our live teaching depending on what we saw. On studio days, our teachers were receiving data from students at about 10-minute intervals, and we needed a way to analyze that data quickly and make adjustments. Apps like Curriculet, Actively Learn, ThinkCERCA, and NoRedInk helped our teachers obtain actionable data in our self-paced learning environments. - See more at: http://www.blendmylearning.com/2014/03/26/iterating-rapidly/#sthash.CZrjG3s2.dpuf

"Education Technology Readiness - Preventing the Unexpected

It's the first day of a new blended learning program. You've figured out how to acquire computers for all of the students. You've chosen a really exciting online curriculum that includes adaptive learning. You've spent the summer learning how the system works, adding personal touches to the lessons and preparing to coach the students. You've gone to the classroom, made sure it has Wi-Fi coverage. Tested bandwidth and played videos. The students arrive, log into their laptops... and everything crashes.

Technology readiness is a new concern for state and district technology directors. With high-stakes assessments going on, concerns are even higher. The RTTA Assessment Consortia have collaborated on a Technology Readiness Tool that states and districts are using to survey and report on their preparedness to perform assessments. Smarter Balanced and PARCC have added Technology Readiness Calculators that help districts and schools perform capacity planning."

"Design SySTEM is an online engineering curriculum for elementary schools. Project-based learning using recyclables is an accessible model of education delivery.

Our scripted lesson plans are designed for engaging project-based instruction for students, easy content delivery for teachers, and low-cost requirements for administrators.

The year-long curriculum showcases ten different types of engineers while focusing on the iterative Engineering Design Process. The curriculum is embedded with media, games, visuals, and student-driven project-based learning activities.

The curriculum's goals are to expose the different types of engineers, engage students in project-based learning through the Engineering Design Process, and guide classroom and STEM teachers in delivering comprehensible lessons without formal engineering training or professional backgrounds."
