Living and Learning in Central Oregon

Yesterday I worked with some high school teachers who are creating on line classes for the Oregon Virtual School District. They are using moodle to build their classes. The temptation was to dive right in and teach moodle but instead I took some time to discuss the revised Bloom’s taxonomy and 21st Century skills and how their online classes should not just become online worksheets.

Then today I came upon H.S.I. – Historical Scene Investigations. What a unique method of capitalizing on a popular TV theme while having students use some of those revised Bloom’s skills. Thanks to Kevin Jarrett for twittering this site.
