I interviewed Kyoung A You.

Podcast Module 4 – Applying Bloom’s Taxonomy to Listening and Speaking Activities Online

                This podcast is going to help get you familiar with Bloom’s Taxonomy.

I think that many teachers do not know how to use some of the wonderful audios and videos that are available online. So, they sit the student in front of the computer, send them to a website like elllo.org, and tell them to practice what they want. That is fun for the student for a little while, but eventually, he is going to want to more. More interaction, more purpose to the lesson.

                One way for teachers to use a listening file online as a starting point to a longer activity is to apply the six steps of Bloom’s Taxonomy to a particular video or audio. To complete this activity, this podcast, you may want to listen to the lecture in Module 4 on Bloom’s Taxonomy.

                For this podcast, I want you to work through the six steps of Bloom’s using the song “Online” by Brad Paisley and the worksheet “Applying Bloom’s Taxonomy.”  Both the song file and the worksheet can be downloaded under Module 4.

So, I would like you to listen to the audio file first. Then type out your answers to questions 1 – 8. Now you are not going to type your answers in a table format on the worksheet, okay? You are going to type them in the body of Microsoft Word, but not in a table. I want you to use complete sentences for your answers. I want you to number your answers, but do not type them in a table because a table will not copy and paste correctly. Okay, so you need to just type them in a text file, but don’t put them in a table. In fact, your paragraphs aren’t going to show up online either. Once you copy and paste your script, your paragraphs are going to go away. That is why numbering your answers is important. These answers will become the script that you will record and then post to www.podomatic.com. Your MP3 audio file should be 2 – 3 minutes long, so you want to make sure that you write enough information about the questions so that you’re talking for 2 – 3 minutes. If you want to ask a question, you can also. If you want to add that, and ask a question yourself, that’s fine.

                Now, please realize that there are two websites. To listen to this podcast and your classmates’, you go or you have gone to http://eesl521.podomatic.com.

                However, you cannot log in at that site. There’s no log in button at eesl521.podomatic.com. Therefore, when you are ready to upload your recording, you’ve already done your recording and you are ready to upload your recording, you need to go to http://www.podomatic.com. And then you can log in following the “Podcasting Instructions.”

                Also, you need to upload an MP3 file. Can’t upload a different kind of file. That means that the file name should end in “.mp3”  Some computers hide these file extensions. Dot mp3 or Dot doc. Some computers hide those. If you can’t see any extensions, please follow the instructions under Module 4 on “How to See File Extensions.”

                Once you have completed your podcast, you will be ready to do Assignment 7 – Creating a Student Worksheet using Bloom's Taxonomy, under Module 4.
