My First Day

My first day of educational psychology went quite smooth. I really enjoyed what we were learning and I knew that from that day on it was going to be a really interesting class. The first thing we learned about was Blooms Taxonomy. For those who don't know what Blooms Taxonomy is, it has 6 different levels for cognitive learning. The higher levels are evaluation, synthesis and analysis. The lower levels are application, understanding and knowledge. Blooms Taxonomy has been revised and it now has different levels.

This picture above is a detailed image of the different levels of Blooms Taxonomy.

Also on the first day we talked about effective teaching. I really enjoyed this part! There are 6 really easy parts to effective teaching. The first is social and ethical matters. The second is Multicultural students. The third is subject matter competence. The fourth is professional skills. The fifth is how committed I am and the last is professional growth.

How do I think the class will be for the rest of the semester? Well, I think the class will be really exciting and I know that I will be using most of what we learn in my teaching career! I'm looking forward to the rest of the semester.
