The Sports Psych Lab was a really fun and interesting field
trip. The technology they use there helps to train athletes by training their
brain. Using the Dynavision, a piece of technology that has flashing buttons
and a screen that displays numbers, math problems, and excerpts from stories, a
student can better train his brain to multitask. For learners who need to move
around while learning, the Dynavision is a perfect tool for them.
PowerPoint
can be used at each level of Bloom’s Taxonomy to support student learning. The first
level is “Remembering.” PowerPoints can be used to review lessons after they
are given. The second level is “Understanding.” After reviewing the PowerPoints
students have a better understanding of the material. “Understanding” is
followed by “Applying.” Here students now use the skills they have learned in
the PowerPoint and apply them to their work. Fourth is “Analyzing.” PowerPoint
helps to lay out facts that better help to analyze a lesson. Following “Analyzing”
is “Evaluating.” Students evaluate the analysis of material to decide whether they
except or reject it. Last is “Creating,” and this is where students now know
the material enough to create their own PowerPoint.
A site
teachers can use to stay informed of technology changes is Twitter, which we
have been using throughout the semester. It is great for following education
companies that focus on technology. Teachers can even interact directly with
these companies. They can search hashtags having to do with education
technology to find the latest articles and opinions on advancements in technology
for the classroom. Twitter.
