Universal Design for Math Learning: Bridging the Technology and Policy Divide
Universal Design for Math Learning: Bridging the Technology and Policy Divide: "Universal Design for Math Learning: Bridging the Technology and Policy Divide"
With PROMiSE pushing Math and Science instruction in Florida towards the same levels we have seen for Reading the past ten years, this has to be addressed...sooner, than later is my hope!

educational-origami » Bloom's and ICT tools: "Many teachers use Bloom's taxonomy and Bloom's revised taxonomy in developing and structuring teaching and learning experiences for their students. This is an attempt to marry Bloom and the key action verbs to digital approaches and tools."
Pretty cool to synch up the technologies that we use, or try to use ;o), with where they fit in the taxonomy of skills.
