Week 4 - Flipping the classroom.

Reading this week resources was very eye-opening because I very really thought about what is put into creating a test.  Bloom’s Taxonomy did a very good job breaking up the details that we as teachers should be using to create a quiz or test. Giving the six steps of thinking and even breaking those down into even more detail helped me understand the concept of each category and organize my thought of how I would create a test.  Starting with the first step of being able to recall and remember something like the terminology of muscles is very important for my students to grasp before I could move onto teaching them what those muscles do.  As a physical educator, I know that learning the anatomy and physiology of the body is important to understand how the body works.  Helping my students understand what they are eating and how they are moving and how it affects their body will help them develop self-knowledge about themselves, this jumps all the way into abstract knowledge, more specifically metacognitive.  Having my student learning by using this taxonomy system I think would be greatly beneficial in my future classroom.  
I also think that constructivist learning is another great concept I can incorporate into my future classroom.  This makes me think of the storytelling idea, how making those personal connections really helps the students remember the information better.  As well as the whole flipped classroom idea, I think that is brilliant.  Having the student learning about the sport or activity that we will be doing prior to doing it will allow the class to participate in the activity longer, which in return permits the children to be active longer while in their gym classes.  I like how this approach, gives the students the most out of the time given per period.
