July 10

What types of skills and thought processes are considered higher-order?
I really think a graphic is a great way to represent this question.

I have put a lot of thought into a new system for measuring student achievement in my class. I want this to work seamlessly with HOTS. I really like the idea of using badges. I saw badges in action when I took my son to the Country Music Hall of Fame. They had an interactive room where you earn badges as you learn about the music industry. The new ACM Gallery and the Dinah and Fred Gretsch Family Gallery offer visitors a hands-on immersion into today’s country music with artifacts from today’s country stars and a series of technology-enhanced activities that will allow guests to become “Certified Country.”



How does/might technology hinder and/or enhance cognition?
In "Now You See It" many references are made to the fact that technology is not distracting and not bad, we are just not used to the form of attention that is required by it.  "we concentrate in a different way when we are making the connections, when we are clinking and browsing, than when we are watching or listening or even reading a book."
