        When we toured the lab last week, the technology that stood out to me was the smart pen. I thought it was so cool and I probably will invest in one. Being able to write your notes and record and go back an listen to the recording by touching the part of the special you wrote on just seemed so unreal to me. Like I was amazed. I think this technology could be very beneficial for students taking notes, because I know I have a hard time writing down all the notes when me teacher is talking to fast, so I forget half of the things mentioned in lectures. Smart pens would be great to have for studying and reviewing purposes, and taking notes. I think having this kind of technology available in schools will help students academic performance.

         Bloom's Taxonomy is a pyramid that basically list the goals of education. These goal are the ability to create, evaluate, analyze, apply, understand, and remember.  I think power point could be used to support student learning at each level of the pyramid because you could make a slide to explain what each goal is how to achieve that goal. Power points could be use to list examples, for example for analyze, in the power point, you could explain the definition . Following that slide you could use different creations, such as stories, and have the students practice analyzing the story on the power point slide. Power points could be used to outline each level in Blooms Taxonomy pyramid.

The website I found  is called e learning industry. It provides articles and videos on the latest technology. The website also offers webinars, seminars, conferences, and various events about technology trends and e learning.
