Today I attended a Quipper seminar with the theme"HOW TO CREAT LESSONS THAT STUDENTS LOVE".
Quipper is what I visualize as steemit in education. Quipper is a website that gives new approach in learning and teaching it is brought here to Phillipines so that we can be competetive globally in terms of new emerging form of learning and teaching strategies.
I will not make this blog to much detailed since I know we don't have all the time in the world to read a blog. So I will just share some key points I learn during the seminar.
- Improving How We Write Assessments
- Limitations of Bloom's Taxonomy
- Creating Effective Powerpoint Presentations for Learning
- Writing to Engage Student
So I think that's the top thing we had discuss and really gives impact to me when. But one thing really open my mind here is about the limitation of Bloom's Taxonomy (If you don't know what it is Bloom's Taxonomy do a reasearch please, cause you will never know how to teach and can't even assess yourself if you are really learning). So here's what I learn about tne limitations of Bloom's Taxonomy
- Flaw 1: Lowers expectations for thinking
Differentiate the difficulty of higher order tasks, not eliminate it.
- Flaw 2: Encourages transmission of information
Develop understanding by problematizing the content using higher order tasks to engage students in digesting the material
- Flaw 3: Creates false confidence
Understand that inviting students to offer reasoned judgments is a more fruitful way of framing learning tasks than is the use of verbs clustered around levels of thinking that are removed from evaluative judgments.
Now here some photos of what we have done during the seminar.
