#8 - Mind Games

This past week we were given the opportunity to visit the Sports Psychology Lab located in the Stone Building. There were all sorts of different technologies here that they use with student athletes to work on the psychological aspect of sports. I have personally used the Dynavision system before, which is basically a giant black box that has buttons arranged in a circular pattern, then the buttons would light up and the goal is to hit the button as soon as it lights up. There were several other tools that we were able to work with during our visit. I don't know if I would necessarily use any of these tools in my classroom, considering I am hoping to be a general education teacher. I feel as though special education teachers would have  more use out of these tools from the sports psychology lab.

I would use PowerPoint in order to describe Bloom's Taxonomy to support student learning at each level of the taxonomy. The order of Bloom's Taxonomy goes as such, remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating. I feel as though making a PowerPoint will support all of the levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. It will help with remembering, only if the students have access to the PowerPoint after the fact so they can review the material and remember it. The presentation will help with understanding, applying, analyzing, and evaluating the material, based on what is in the PowerPoint. Usually the information that is given in PowerPoints, is the information that is the most important to the lesson, allowing it to be applied  elsewhere.
