Description and Purpose of Engagement Tool

With Quizlet, students can choose their own “Study Mode.” This allows activity content to be migrated from flashcards to matching games to other types of study games easily and responsively. Quizlet activities can also be embedded easily into course management systems.
Description and Purpose of Activity or Assignment
This activity serves as a knowledge check for what participants have learned when reviewing content in the unit about how to use Bloom’s Taxonomy to write learning objectives. Participants are provided a description of each of Bloom's six levels of instructional objectives in the cognitive domain, each in terms of the essential question with which it is associated. Furthermore, each level includes several representative action verbs that can be associated with that key question. The purpose of the Quizlet activity is to match the Bloom’s Taxonomy level with its corresponding question being asked.
Learning Objectives Associated with Engagement Tool

Preparation Details of Activity or Assignment
In this activity, participants will match the Bloom’s Taxonomy level to its corresponding question. This is a great tool to conduct a brief knowledge check to determine if participants understand Bloom’s Taxonomy. It is important to provide well-explained information about the topic and then make the Quizlet activity challenging enough to assess knowledge but not too difficult as to frustrate the participants.
