1. Adaptive technologies are a great tool to use in the classroom. They can range from very technologically advanced things, such as a language translator. Or it can be something very simple, such as a screen reader. Both of these technologies help benefit students in the classroom. They help it so every child has an equal opportunity to learn, as well as enabling every child to be challenged in the classroom and help them get a better education. These technologies can help a regular student, a special needs student, and even gifted students!
2. Bloom's Taxonomy is categorizing the different levels of learning and understanding of a given subject. It is something that is very important for teachers to be aware of and use to help their students learn to the best of their ability. One way to teach using Bloom's Taxonomy is through Powerpoint. For example, in a class of around 20 students, there is going to be some variety of which level of Bloom's Taxonomy each student is at. To utilize Powerpoint, I would include a variety of questions on each slide ranging from easy-hard. For students who already understand the hard questions, I could maybe have them explain how they got their answer, therefor helping to explain to other students as well as further understanding the subject themselves.
