Week 2

Wow, there is way too much to blog about this week.
 I went from feeling as a beginner on Internet use, specifically by searching only with Google.  From searching on different search engines and understanding how each one worked.  What I mean using the engines appropriately. 
The next task was the ABCD objectives.  In my personal experience, writing objectives have always been difficult.  In my school there is an emphasis of objectives being specific and well written.  The objectives have to be properly written grammar wise.   The ABCD objectives make sense and are well thought.  My plan is to incorporate this in my class.  I might not be able to change the class objectives but I can certainly write my objectives for my daily plan and activities. 
In the Additional Resource reading about Bloom´s Revised Taxonomy was stimulating and then the Digital Taxonomy by Andrew Churches was thought-provoking.  The truth is that as technology advances we have to advance with it.  
Finally the Higher Order Thinking Skills are a great ladder to encourage students to increase in.  Of course it’s my job as a teacher to teach students in the end to CREATE and INNOVATE. 
I´m left with the Chinese proverb:   He who learns but does not think is lost.
