  • Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): "Understand" if students are watching and listening to instructor created slide sets.  Student could use it to "Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create" depending on the assignment. 
  • Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Demonstrations from instructor or student who created the VoiceThread
  • Integration of Tool for Teaching and Learning;
  • VoiceThread may be used by instructors to create recorded lectures with slides that are automatically captioned.  This makes them easy to share with students in remote learning or for students to review apart from a class setting.  In addition, students are able to comment on VoiceThreads to ask questions or respond to instructor prompts.  Students may also create their own VoiceThreads as class presentations.  This can be done by individuals, or the sharing capabilities of VoiceThread lets a group of students work together on a group presentation.  This tool works well as a one to many communication tool, presenting content or assignment responses, but it also can be used for discussion and commentary from the entire class or among students.

  Gliffy https://www.gliffy.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom’s Taxonomy): Gliffy could run the gamut of Bloom's Taxonomy depending on how it was utilized:  students could be given a completed organizer to help them "remember" content that was already presented in a different manner, they could "create" their own organizer and use it to "evaluate" a concept, "analyze" the elements of a concept by comparing and contrasting them, "apply" skills in doing the above activities, and show that they "understand" the concepts address by working out their own way of organizing items.  Type of Learning experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Students could experience a prepared graphical organizer at the point of "exhibits" or "demonstrations," but in having students build their own graphical organizers there is potential for "dramatic participation" and "contrived experiences" along with "dire...

  Flip (formerly Flipgrid) https://info.flip.com/ Type of Learning (Bloom's Taxonomy): Could work with any level of the taxonomy, depending on what they student is asked to record in their video:  could be anything from recounting what they remember about a topic, to demonstrating their understanding in a presentation, to applying content and demonstrating that in a video, analyzing  situation in a video, evaluating a situation, or even creating a video to demonstrate their understanding of a topic/concept. Type of Learning Experience (Dale’s Cone of Experience): Seems to fit somewhere in the middle of the Cone (Exhibits, Field Trips, Demonstrations) if students are watching the work of other students showing their work or watching the instructor demonstrate actions or visit places.  But, can involve the student who is recording a video in options further down the Cone (Dramatic Participation, Contrived Experiences, Direct Purposeful Experiences) if student is asked ...
