Bloom's Taxonomy of Technology

I taught four sessions of professional development this week, ClassParrot was by far the most popular tool that I offered. Almost every teacher in each session signed up for an account, and we brainstormed ways that we could use this tool in our classes to make life easier.  I also demo'd Animoto, Popplet, Prezi and the Google suite of tools. I ran out of time in EVERY session, which was a surprise! I guess I'll have to do it again.
Here's a great graphic that I found on Pinterest, and followed the link to this blog:
