Blooms Level of Critical Thinking:

Description of how to implement in the class: Students will use Inspiration to create a graphic
organizer and writing template. Inspiration allows all learners to understand how to organize their
thoughts for writing. Students will be able to be creative, personalize their work and get their
thoughts in front of them before they write their rough and final drafts. They will create a real or
imaginary story while using descriptive details.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): LoTi 5:Expansion because students are engaged in
higher-level thinking skills according to Blooms taxonomy. Students are also engaged in
collaborations with their peers and mentors beyond the classroom as they are learning. Students are
able to produce a product that is not only meaningful to them but also to their peers and parents.
They will share these products outside the classroom.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided *: My example that is attached is one that I have
created that would resemble one that the students could potentially create. Then students would
create their own template that they want to use. The teacher will assist students that need help to
make sure that they comprehend how to use this software. Students will manipulate their graphic
organizer the way that they want to.
