PowerPoint is a great way to support student learning at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy because it is a software that provides opportunity to create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand, and remember information. It helps teachers create original presentations that will help students evaluate the subject of the lesson and analyze the information given. It also helps students apply the information to examples by providing the teachers ways to properly explain the subject matter so that students can understand and remember the lesson.
Adaptive technologies are used to support learners in many different ways. They are there to help the students who have learning disabilities or an impairment that could affect the student's learning process. The podcast mentions a couple of adaptive technologies like magnified screens or brail printers. Technologies like this can help students with visual impairments. Adaptive technologies are important because they help break down the learning barriers between exceptional and non exceptional students. Personally, I have not know a student who has needed/used adaptive technologies. I feel as if these technologies will be helpful for me as a teacher in the classroom, but I also feel as if they can cause conflict between students (unfair/jealous students).
This weeks web design assignment was a lot of fun. I liked being able to explore and practice creating a classroom website. This assignment gave me a lot of ideas for how I would design my website when I do eventually become a teacher. Website link: http://mswronks.weebly.com
