Week2: ...now I know my ABC(D)...

Bloom's Taxonomy...I've heard of it...

Objectives...I know what objectives are...

But this week in the "Webskills" course has led me to much more than just "hearing of it". I've read quite a few very comprehensive articles on Bloom's Taxonomy. They really held my attention and I'm sure I'll go back to learning about Bloom's Taxonomy and Revised Bloom's Taxonomy in more detail later in my studies.

Then I was encountered to the ABCD objectives (Audience-Behaviour-Condition-Degree) and writing your class/lesson objectives.This is definitely a helpful thing when it comes to lesson planning. It makes you focused and all the time aware of what you should actually be doing in your class.

Thank you "Webskills"! I've already become addicted to writing ABCD objectives for my classes.

And I can't stop singing: "...now I know my ABC, next time won't you sing with me..." :)

Week2: A myriad of Web Search Engines

Yet another discovery in the course: Google is not the only Search Engine, nor is it always the best one!

As Week2 started to unwind I came across a vast number of Web Search Engines. Engines specializing in different topics and fields of study! Miraculous!

I even told a few friends about them. My husband's suspicious remark was: "Better than Google?! I don't believe it..."

Neither had I believed it before I tried it, but it's true. In some cases Google is not the best place to do your googling.

Now I'm a bit apprehensive of becoming a search addict ;)

Week2: Just for fun!
