This cartoon shows how quickly technology has grown in 30 years alone. As a society we are a very integrated with technology to the point that we are over connected at times, children are always reachable, and when one thing happens the entire school knows in under five minutes. As a society we have adapted out of necessity to continue growth just as Dewey had said. In these times, we forget about the ‘good old days’ of just playing outside as children, now living in a world where everyone is so connected no one needs to leave the house to play catch when they can just play on the Xbox360 with each other.

Bloom's Taxonomy Spreadsheet

 * When you were a student in K-12 or college, which levels of Bloom's Taxonomy did you most frequently address? Why do you think that you addressed that level?**

During my time in school, the teacher focused on remembering and understanding most of the time, with a little time being spent on applying the information. I can understand to a point why most of the time was spent that way; our teachers only had so much time to get all the information into our thick skulls in order for us to pass our state testing, at the time that was all that mattered. Those levels are also the ones that require the least amount of work on the teachers part, they just stood in front of the room and taught us everything they knew about the subject, but never showing students a real life application of that subject.

I choose this video from TeacherTube because it shows what the students are able to do when given the computer and microphone. This was also a way for the teacher to show parents what their children are able to create by using the computer. The video also takes a topic that they students are working on, and gives them another way to show their understanding of the alphabet and what letters some words start with.
