3D Museum

This is a fabulous site that has created 3D images in the thousands - of skulls and artifacts from objects, mainly animals. They have created 3D images of these skulls and teeth so that people can look through categories or search for specific items. This is pretty cool and would be great for research or for students assignments. It would also be great as a resource for art teachers.

Andrew Churches

Most of the information on the Bloom's Digital Taxonomy post was gleamed from Andrew Churches Wiki. For a detailed analysis of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy check out his wikispaces site. Not only has he given explanations of Blooms Elements of Learning but he provides examples of the types of tools that teachers could use whilst implementing digital technologies.


Andrew's Educational Philosophy:
The world is not as simple as saying teachers are digital immigrants and students digital natives. We have to change how we teach, how we assess, what we teach, when we teach it, where we are teaching it, who we are teaching and with what. Its a tall order, but these are exciting times. This is not just about the integration of technology into the classroom, though this is certainly a critical area. It is about shifting the entire paradigm of education.
