Where is My Mind?
Are you paging through your educational psychology texts and wondering how to work Bloom's taxonomy into your lessons, particularly with regard to technology? If yes, then refer to the graphic below. If you answered no to the question above, then feel free to add more ideas and links to each level of this graphic.

How cool is that? I've never seen this illustration before, but I'm going to use it from this day forward!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder Aaron!
ReplyDeleteWe used this graphic in a few of our professional learning opportunities last year as a way of envisioning and enhancing student learning. We felt it was a key piece to engagement and provided a visual of how to authentically incorporate technology in our learning communities.
A couple of things I have come to believe since we shared that work with teachers. They are:
The tool will always just be a tool. Tech is a wonderful way to support, enhance, and differentiate the great things that are already happening in the classroom. I am always struck by something that Bernajean Porter shared with our learners... we need our students to be meaning makers before they can be media makers.
We need to be open to the possibilities of incorporating each tool at every stage of Bloom's. I think it reflects a solid vision of how the technology can be used in a way the is meaningful for our learners and helps to cultivate their curiosity and wonder. My thinking is that, for example, let's consider where Youtube is placed on the taxonomy. (I was looking for Skype but couldn't find it) Right away I am to envision using it not only at the evaluating stage but can also see myself making connections to support my understanding or even perhaps in creating my own synthesis of learning.
Lastly, I would love to see the pyramid 'flipped', with the peak, the smallest surface, representing remembering and then the base, the foundation of it all, being the creation. I emphatically believe that when we create we have such power in making sense of our learning!
My 2 cents!
Excellent points. I prefer circular diagrams as this is more linear. Also, I believe that the create is in everything. You are absolutely correct about a tool being a tool; the key is trying to get the students to a higher ground with those tools.
