Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally
In response to the online article Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally it is an interesting incorporation of today's objectives with technology. After reviewing both models of Bloom's taxonomy(click here)it is clear that even the most popular and well known models that guide learning in the classroom have recognized the need for change due to technology. I was very interested to see the number of terms (verbs) associated with each level of thinking skills found on today's model of Bloom's taxonomy-many of the terms are somewhat unfamiliar to me due to my own lack of knowledge in the field of technology. I suppose, as educators, that this becomes one more aspect of teaching that we must adjust and learn to become efffective in organizing learning objectives in the classroom when using technology. I am assuming at the college level, students have the opportunity to better explore the field of technology through electives and possible required undergrad courses. I find it somewhat difficult to envision this type of scaffolding and terminology to be used consistently in the primary and secondary schools though. Until curriculum begins to shift more toward technology, I feel that in a way educators will more than likely stick to the old order of thinking with Bloom's taxonomy.
