Achievement Compact Powerpoint

http://www.slideshare.net/sandersc100/achievement-compact-pp-11844305

In order to embed a powerpoint presentation into your blog you must register with SlideShare and upload your presentation. This allows the world to see your presentation and it will also track how many people are viewing your powerpoint and how many are downloading it. There are upgrades for a yearly fee. I noticed the presenters at the Oregon Technology Integration Conference all used SlideShare when sharing their many presentations.

Newly Revised Bloom's Poster for Elementary Teachers

http://blog.learningtoday.com/blog/bid/22740/Bloom-s-Taxonomy-Poster-for-Elementary-Teachers

Download The Blooming Butterfly poster as a pdf.

The Blooming Butterfly poster was designed by the Learning Today product development team as a tribute to Bloom and Anderson and to the educators all over the world that continue to implement their vision. We hope that it will serve as a visual reminder for teachers as they continue to guide students to become better thinkers, just as Bloom imagined many years ago!


Here's another poster to help get you thinking about how you can apply Bloom's higher-order thinking skills in your classroom. This poster shows the segments of an orange with each segment relating to a thinking skill and some helpful verbs to serve as prompts.
