8. "Bloom's Taxonomy"

Bloom's Taxonomy contains different objectives used for developing higher level thinking skills. It is a model used by teachers to present ideas and concepts to a variety of students on different learning levels. There are six levels to Bloom's Taxonomy: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. His Taxonomy can be used for all grade levels and content areas. Teachers can asses students on different learning levels. Within each level of the Taxonomy, there are various tasks that the student must overcome. A list of verbs  are provided for each level of Bloom's taxonomy for teachers to use when creating their lesson plan that focuses on the specific level. Bloom's taxonomy is useful because it extends learning from simply remembering to more complex cognitive structures, like analyzing and evaluating students in the classroom.

6. "Use Arts Integration to Enhance Common Core"

Integration can teach everyone something. Integration is hard to find in todays school. Often because it is difficult to make happen. Teachers must collaborate, research, and spend most of their spare time bettering their lessons. This is asking a lot from our teachers who take on this challenge. Integration is a great way to learn. It allows different contents to be combined in various ways to make learning fun. Students are more likely to want to participate and learn if these different activities are approached. This gives teachers a way to make their own additions to the Common Core Standards. The Arts Integration allows all students to learn in their own ways through music, movies, and different visuals.

These are great ideas that allow teachers and students to have their own input on learning. The teachers are enabled to stay a little from the Common Core State Standard. It also allows for children to learn in various ways. Not all students learn simply through being lectured. Some are visual, some are auditory, and some are hands on learners. These ideas allow for each students needs to be meet on different levels. These ideas should be practiced in the classroom. 

5. John Hunter and the World Peace Game

John Hunter was in and out of college, but finally gained a degree in education. He was inspired by his teachers and began to see them in himself. He designed a two dementional board game that allowed his students to learn in ways other than reading and being lectured. He wanted to see if fourth grade gifted students could solve economical problems in Africa. He wanted his students to be involved and be able to make decisions. The game developed into a multi-layer board game. This allows the students to learn spontanious compassion where they are able to determine whats right on their own and in their own way. He is teaching his students real life problems that cannot necessarily be tought how to slove. They are learning on their own and teaching themselves. They are thinking deeper and making decisions throughout the game based on what they believe. He is developing their ways of reasoning as people rather than asking concrete questions. He is letting their imagination teach themselves through a creative way of learning.
