00:00:00,690 --> 00:00:05,690
Are you a teacher looking for that great application that meets your lesson plan requirements?

2
00:00:05,690 --> 00:00:11,689
Do you feel a bit lost wrecking in an ocean of ITC constantly changing?

3
00:00:11,689 --> 00:00:16,690
Lost and frustrated not knowing what to choose among dozens of educational applications?

4
00:00:16,690 --> 00:00:21,690
Please, let me give you a hand, but before choosing the right application,

5
00:00:21,690 --> 00:00:25,690
let's reflect for a second about what you really need.

6
00:00:25,690 --> 00:00:31,690
I'm sure you always use Bloom's taxonomy as reference to plan your lessons, methodology,

7
00:00:31,690 --> 00:00:32,689
and assessments.

8
00:00:32,689 --> 00:00:33,689
Nice.

9
00:00:33,689 --> 00:00:36,250
That's the proper educational way of doing things.

10
00:00:36,250 --> 00:00:37,250
Well done.

11
00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:42,549
These categories correspond to skills that demand progressively higher thinking, frequently

12
00:00:42,549 --> 00:00:46,530
represented as a pyramid structure.

13
00:00:46,530 --> 00:00:53,450
You have probably heard about the SAMR model, developed by Rubén Fuentedura, that promotes

14
00:00:53,450 --> 00:00:58,130
technological integration in teaching and learning. But what about the

15
00:00:58,130 --> 00:01:03,070
applications? Don't panic, here comes the most exciting part.

16
00:01:03,070 --> 00:01:07,950
Ellen Carrington from Adeline University has done the tough work for you.

17
00:01:07,950 --> 00:01:12,890
He has compiled and organized educational applications according to

18
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:19,670
the two mentioned models. SAMR levels appear in the outer ring. Substitution,

19
00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:26,769
augmentation, modification, and redefinition. The matching blooms categories appear in

20
00:01:26,769 --> 00:01:35,609
the innermost ring. Remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. Let's

21
00:01:35,609 --> 00:01:42,769
see the evaluation sector. For example, from the center and outwards, we find the

22
00:01:42,769 --> 00:01:48,950
useful vocabulary required for lesson plans and success criteria design. The

23
00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:55,489
suggested activity types related to that particular Bloom and SIMR category. And at

24
00:01:55,489 --> 00:02:00,969
last, the set of applications that Mr. Carrington recommends developing the

25
00:02:00,969 --> 00:02:08,710
corresponding activities. Nice, isn't it? There are dozens of applications in the

26
00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:13,449
Bloom's Create Categories sector. For example, you will find the applications

27
00:02:13,449 --> 00:02:19,789
that help develop creativity, such as video editors, audio podcast makers, or chroma effect

28
00:02:19,789 --> 00:02:26,569
tools. Simple, just choose the application that fits best to your purpose. Please help yourself.

29
00:02:28,030 --> 00:02:29,770
Good luck and happy teaching!
