School 2.0


Reflection results for NETS-T Module: Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
2. I facilitate the use of technology resources to enable students to pursue questions and issues of individual interest, to identify and manage learning goals, to record reflections, and to assess their progress and outcomes.


I chose to go on a website that talks about blooms taxonomy. Blooms taxonomy was developed in 1956 at the University of Chicago. He proposed 3 areas on educational objectives...First is cognitive and is the persons ability to process and use the information. Then we have affective, this is the role of feeling and attitudes in the learning and education process. Last is psychomotor which is manipulative or physical skills. Blooms taxonomy is activities that expose higher order thinking skills and lower order thinking skills. Blooms taxonomy allows us to rank and structure different classroom activities so we can plan the learning process.

Introduction of Jeffrey Robert Konoske

My name is Jeffrey Robert Konoske. I was born and raised in Carlsbad California. I love the California life style, the weather and the people. I could do without the population, but its a small trade off for all the other upsides to california living. I started my education at a local elementary school named Mission Estancia and then made my way over to the local junior high school named Digueno and then went to  high school at La Costa Canyon. I graduated high school in 2005. Like many others i was not sure what i wanted to do so i kicked around at Palomar and Mira Costa before recognizing teaching was in my blood.

I was raised with technology and cant really imagine a world without it. I am very comfortable with most aspects of technology and really like to explore all the different ways technology can enhance our lives. I believe that everyone should be taught how to use the basic essentials of technology. There is so much information to be learned through technology. Technology is a life of its own!

In the College of Education Mission Statement what really stands out to me is the single word "equity". I believe that everybody has a right to free and a equal education. Education should not be for the wealthy or those that can speak english only. Education should be for ALL. Then and only then will we advance as a society.
