Tech Tools: Powerpoint and Bloom's Taxonomy

Today, the topic is how to use tools such as powerpoint and bloom's taxonomy. Blending knowledge with visuals attempts to satisfy both the left and right sides of the brain, respectively. As K-12 instructors, knowledge is usually ample, while engaging presentations have been hard to create. Now, with these fabulous tech tools, such as powerpoint and the internet, it has become phenominally simple to create decent, engaging presentations. Bloom's Taxonomy provides a scaffolded learning approach for the designer. By using this for the design of the content, and using Powerpoint and other means for visualization of that content, everyone will benefit. In particular, Math classes are boring by nature, so anything related to helping make math less boring will work.
