B.+Application

=In the Application Quadrant, students use the knowledge they acquired to solve problems, design solutions, and complete work. Application helps students develop the thinking skills they need to process what they have learned. This quadrant is all about teaching students to //think (i.e. MetaCognition)// about what they have learned, not just completing the task. Students should also //reflect// on what they are doing before, during, and after activities. You could ask students to classify information, compare and contrast written pieces, or solve formulas. Some tools that would be useful in this stage are popplet, an ipad application that allows students to solve increasingly difficult problems,blogs, or edmoto. =
