Getting new knowledge

Hello friends, I am here in my second week in Fayetteville, Arkansas. During this week there were some topics that called me my attention. One of them was the topic about the usage of Bloom's Taxonomy in the creation of objectives. This class helped me to remember that Bloom's taxonomy is a classification system that we can use to define and distinguish different levels of learning in our students. I used to use this list of verbs to create my objectives, using them from any of the columns from the list, but in this class  I learned that I have to begin from the remember column (the bottom) to the create column (the top). Or if I have an advanced group, I can begin from the middle (apply or analyze) to the top (create). Also when we are preparing our objectives we need to remember that our objectives need to be "SMART"

  1. S= to be specific
  2. M= to be measurable
  3. A= to be achievable/attainable
  4. R= to be relevant
  5. T= to be Timely

    Thank you for explaining how you understood anew how Bloom's taxonomy can be used. One clarification: You never "have to" begin from the bottom; there are many factors that influence how you might want to start. Yet you are correct: The goal is for Ss to move up the taxonomy and be able to create with the language.

    Do you find the SMART idea difficult? Perhaps a better question would be this: "What part(s) of SMART do you find easy, and which part(s) do you find difficult?

Day 4 of observation in Thurman G. Smith Elementary School.

Thursday, March 1st, 2018 The use of technology in class surprised me. All the students in class owned their own personal laptop. They used it to practice math in class, to look for information and to share information with others. Also, I could observe that the computer could be a distractor in class. Because sometimes some specific students were not paying attention to class and they were playing computer games. The teacher couldn't observe those students for that reason I talked to them that please pay attention. The teacher also used technology to present her classes. She handled in a good way the use of technology in class. Also, I attended the library class. This class was performed at the library. The library teacher read them a short book but the point that caught my attention was the tone of voice and mimic used during the reading. That caused the students to pay attention and participate in the reading. At the end of this class, she encouraged them to select a boo...

Day 2 of Observation in Thurman G. Smith Elementary School.

Tuesday, February 27th, 2018 During this second day, I focused my observation in the classroom management. The management of the class was ordered. Every time the children talked or did not pay attention she called attention to them with attention to getters like "Clap once if you can hear me." Those students who listened quieted down and clapped once. Then she said, "Clap twice if you can hear me." Then more children responded with two claps. Finally, she said, "Clap three times if you can hear me." By this time she had the attention of all her students. Also, I noticed that she had a notebook, where she wrote down the names of students who did not follow the instructions given, they at the end of the week they would not have the extra recess time that those who followed instructions would enjoy. I liked that the school has an ELD class (English Language Development). In this class, all the Spanish speakers or another language speakers students had to ...
