Visit Dallas

One of the most memorable historical destinations I have ever been to is The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.  It is a must-visit destination for history buffs, and anyone interested in the events that shaped America in the 20th century. The museum is located in Dallas, Texas, and is dedicated to preserving the memory of President John F. Kennedy and the events surrounding his assassination in 1963.

The Sixth Floor Museum provides a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in American history. It is the only museum dedicated to the assassination of President Kennedy and provides a comprehensive look at the events that led up to the tragedy. They have a collection of original artifacts related to the assassination, including photographs, documents, and artifacts from that day.

The Sixth Floor Museum serves as a memorial to President Kennedy and a tribute to his legacy. Visitors can pay their respects to the late president and learn about his life and achievements.

If you travel to Dallas, we recommend this website to check out the Sixth Floor Museum: https://www.jfk.org/

Bloom’s Taxonomy

 

Do you actively utilize Bloom’s Taxonomy in class? How does it impact your teaching? 

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education that can be used to write educational goals, develop curriculum, and assess learning. It was developed by Benjamin Bloom and a group of educators in the 1950s. The taxonomy is often depicted as a pyramid, with the more complex levels of learning at the top and the more basic levels at the bottom. The levels of the taxonomy are:

  1. Remembering: recalling previously learned material
  2. Understanding: comprehending the meaning of the material
  3. Applying: using the material in a new way
  4. Analyzing: breaking down the material into parts and understanding their relationships
  5. Evaluating: making judgments about the value of the material based on a set of criteria
  6. Creating: using the material to create something new.

The taxonomy is often used in education to create lesson plans and assessments that involve higher levels of thinking and help students develop more advanced cognitive skills.
