A Teaching Blog...

Have been thinking for a while it would be a wise idea to have a teaching blog. There are some reason for this
  • Lots of people keep talking about it
  • I have been utilising other people's blogs a lot lately
  • It is a way to record my teaching work
  • It is a great reflection tool
  • It could be useful for registration 
  • it could be useful for future job applications

So.. tonight I have tangented (did I just make up that word?) from Pintrest to a bunch of Blooms related sites looking for some existing plans.
I am a big fan of not reinventing the wheel all the time but rather modifying wheels that have already been created and actually work.

Particularly interested in the work of  Kathy Schrock at the moment who is 'updating' the Blooms Taxonomy to  include web/online/iPad components - e.g. 21st century stuff.

She has represented a bunch of (iPad) apps into a Blooms format (see below). Has also done the same with Google apps, of which I am not so familiar.
Not that me, my class or my school have iPads yet...

P.S. I was meant to read this and this but I decided to go to bed instead...
