I might use PowerPoint to support student learning at each level of Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Taxonomy is based on six different domains of learning. The six domains are creating, evaluating, analyzing, applying, understanding, and remembering. With using Bloom's Taxonomy, I would probably incorporate it in a Powerpoint. The basic purpose of the PowerPoint would be to help the students remember information that they had just read. On each slide I will have important dates, pictures, and events to help them remember all of the information thoroughly. I will provide each level and explain what each level means. I think that Bloom's Taxonomy would really help the students learn in a positive way. 

In the podcast and the book, they said that adaptive technologies could be useful to help students with different disabilities such as: visual/hearing impairment and dyslexia. Some examples include a student who is visually impaired or even blind they can use a computer screen that is magnified or the text2speech website that can read anything that they're typing back to them. A child that has trouble spelling/writing can use a voice recognition software that can help them with their note taking, and a child who has trouble with their motor skills can use something else other than a mouse as a controller. I don't have any learning disabilities so I have never had to use any of these helping devices nor have I seen anyone else using them either. Even though I haven't personally come in contact with any of this, I know that it exists and can be incredibly helpful but also distracting towards the other students. As a teacher, it is our duty to help students with disabilities and provide what we can for them the best we can, so that the other students aren't distracted. 

A few things that I learned from the web page design assignment was being able to set up a website for me to use in the classroom as a teacher. A class website is a great resource to use in the classroom and I am thankful to now know how to use it and create one. I can improve my website next time by putting more time into it and really working on it more diligently.
