Google Forms

 

A results page from a survey created and administered using Google Forms.

    • Google Forms
    • https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/
    • Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Building and launching a form puts a student right at the level of “Create”, with the results of the survey able to be worked with at each level moving downward in the taxonomy.
    • Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): If a student creates a form to be completed by classmates or other participants, that action is a “direct, purposeful experience” of interacting with others through a form and learning their thoughts and responses on the topic of the form.  Experiencing just the responses from the form without building it puts a student more at the “exhibits” or “demonstrations” section of the Cone.
    • Integration of tool for teaching and learning:
    • Google Forms is an essential tool for not just displaying or analyzing a concept, but for actually collecting survey data so that it can be considered in understanding a topic. Teachers and students can create forms on any given topic, include single answer, multiple answer, and open text questions, and share the form with any size group that they wish.  Responses may be viewed while the survey is ongoing, both in individual form and in a chart-based summary of responses.  Responses may include the respondent’s identifying information or be taken anonymously. In addition to the graphical summary of responses, data may also be exported to Google Slides (and from there to a host of other software) for flexibility in grouping and organizing responses.  For a survey approach to data collection, Google Forms provides a free and very flexible option.

Popplet

  Popplet https://www.popplet.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Popplet could be used for every point in Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could view a Popplet created by an instructor or a fellow student to use to "remember" content, while student-created Popplets give students the experience of showing and growing their "understanding" of a concept.  The act of "creating" a Popplet exhibits the highest level skill, also allowing  a student to "evaluate" and "analyze" content and concepts, while "applying" lessons and skills they were previously taught.   Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): A teacher-created or peer-created graphical organizer in Popplet could be experienced at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations" on the Cone.  If students are building their own Popplets as graphical organizers and adding additional content and sub-concepts...

  3DBear https://www.3dbear.io/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): If a student is interacting with a VR scenario, the level in Bloom’s Taxonomy could be as high as “Evaluate”, but no lower than “Understand.”  If the student is using the app to create, they could experience the “Create” level. Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Students could watch or move through a VR experience at the “Motion Pictures” level, but could, depending on the interaction required, go as far as “Contrived Experiences” in the cone if they are responding to scenarios and providing input to solve a situation. Integration of tool for teaching and learning: 3DBear provides a tool to create virtual environments for student learning.  Workplaces and other scenarios can be recorded as VR tutorials that include both real-world video and animated items.  The VR experience can be interspersed with text to help students identify processes or items they are shown (like identify...

Kahoot!

  Kahoot! https://kahoot.com/schools-u/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Student actions in Kahoot appear to be on the lower order thinking skills end of the taxonomy, in “Recall,” “Understand,” and “Apply.”  It is possible that one could consider choosing among the available answers as  “Analyze” or “Evaluate”, but that seems overly generous. Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Participating in Kahoot puts students at the more active, participative end of the Cone, somewhere within “Dramatic Participation,” “Contrived Experiences,” and “Direct, Purposeful Experiences.”  They are participating in recalling what they have learned, or sharing an opinion, or demonstrating their understanding. Just answering is not very creative, but it does call on the student to think critically, evaluate the question, and act based on their knowledge. Integration of tool for teaching and learning: Kahoot provides instructors with a tool for quizzing and survey...
