Bloom’s Taxonomy and Foreign Language Instructional Design
After reading and watching the presentations, I was a little lost this week. Everything was super interesting but I had no idea what to talk about. My colleagues had already done perfect synthesis and I did not want to do the same. I recently finished my second master’s in Education Administration and all this material was familiar to me. So, after a lot of research and thinking, I decided to talk about something that will be very useful for me and my online class design: Bloom’s Taxonomy for Foreign Language Instruction. I found two excellent resources and made a Power Point with the most important points.
I decided to make an audio describing the PP; you will have to listen to it if you want to know why 
It is easier to read the words if you view it with fullscreen. Do not forget to click “play” first on the audio file.

Hello Laura — I enjoyed your presentation. That was a great idea for this week’s posting. Very well done., clearly explained. I liked how you explained what you use now and whether you will use it when you get your online class, and then what you will use that’s new (i.e. Voicethread). I don’t think I’ll be using Second Life either — although I’m intrigued with how others are using it. I guess I would need to experience it first. Thanks for a great post!

I enjoyed reading your post–especially because I too teach foreign languages. I find it fascinating to find the best ways we can help our students to learn. It seems like once we “lead the way” and show by example how to learn a language, they can often teach themselves with our guidance that is. Thanks for your presentation. It was great!
