7 Adaptive technologies

I recently learned what Bloom's taxonomy is. Bloom's taxonomy helps distinguish fundamental questions in the education system. The levels are create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand, and remember. An awesome strategy to show students this information could be in a power point. With each slide I could demonstrate each level while teaching my students. 

Adaptive technologies can be used to enhance learning of students with physical and learning disabilities. Students may not be able to type, or read. So to assist them, they could use a voice recognition software instead of typing. Students who have trouble reading a computer screen may have special magnified screen. Students with learning disabilities such as dyslexia can use a spell checker to help them learn. These are just a couple of examples adaptive technologies provide to help students. Personally I use spell check, and when I took French in high school, I had an app that would read words to me so I could pronounce them correctly. The only challenges I see about using these adaptive technologies in the classroom is, finding the right tools to fit each students need, not having the resources to provide for everyone, and the students getting to used to the tools and relying on them instead of learning and growing from them. Overall with the proper help, they can be a great asset to the classroom.

I have made a website on wix before, but working on weebly was completely new to me.  I learned how to create a calendar and actually post it on my website! It is really neat because the viewer of my website can see the calendar in three different formats. I can also add, edit, and delete any events if I need to. I thought it was a bit harder to work on weebly than wix, and it was difficult to add color other than pictures.On the other hand, I did think the tools offered made it a lot better. Next time I can try to add more tabs of information and I can use it for actual classes that I teach to keep my students and their parents involved. Here is one of the pages of my website!
