I scored fairly well on this quiz. There were only a couple questions, that I wasn't absolutely sure of the answer. I use the computer on a daily basis, so I'm fairly comfortable with using it, or knowing where to go to help solve any issues that may arise. I still have lots to learn when it comes to incorporating it into the classroom though.

Looking through the web 2.0 tools, I really liked the media mapping ideas and the blooms taxonomy tools. I liked the media mapping because I think it's very beneficial and crucial for our students to visually see what they may be thinking. To have a mind map, it helps put things in a more concrete understanding. It helps to see where their understanding it, and where it needs to be.

The blooms taxonomy is beneficial, because it allows the teacher to see where their students are on their higher level thinking. It can help guide the teacher in their planning for each student, by knowing where they are, and where they need to be.
