Cedu521: Week Two

This week I particularly enjoyed writing my first article review because it focused on project-based learning and how a specific PBL experience was implemented in an 8th grade social studies class. Being a social studies teacher myself, I found this article to be very informative and gave me implementation ideas. In addition, I feel like I can better prepare my instructional unit for this class based on ideas presented in the article. Beyond this, I really liked contemplating the level in the Bloom's Taxonomy (and the updated technology version) that my students are currently at. Reflecting on this made me a bit more aware of things that I can do to encourage higher-level thinking and technology functioning within my instruction and throughout my school overall.
