Where's the Beef?

Three new things that I learned from reading this article are:
1) The technology that I will use in my future classroom needs to have some sort of substance or else the students will not take anything from it.  Again, technology can never replace a good teacher.

2) Transitioning from a text-based form of teaching to a form of teaching that integrates technology involves teachers understanding and being able to demonstrate the skills necessary to be able to effectively teach with multimedia products.

3) According to this article, being a master of technology tools in the classroom is no longer enough.  They must be used to help students demonstrate what they know, understand, or what they do not understand.

Two connections I made to teaching are:
1) As a teacher, I must be able to use effective elements of communication, design information and media planning, collaborate with students, as well as manage projects in order to become an effective user of technology in my future classroom.

2) Using Bloom's Taxonomy will actually be fairly beneficial in my future classroom because the students that I will have will need to analyze, evaluate, and create knowledge beyond existing facts.  I was not really sure how Bloom's Taxonomy would be included in my future classroom environment, but now I know that it can be applied in a technology sense. I also now understand that my students will need to be able to acquire these things in order to be successful learners.

One question I had from this article was:
How does the type of assessment discussed in the article assist in increasing student learning?
