Read about the application of Bloom’s taxonomy to the digital world in Chapter 1 of Technology Applications for the Digital Classroom . Evaluate whether you believe Bloom’s taxonomy is a perfect fit for teaching and learning in the 21 st century, as the author contends, or if you believe it is an outdated taxonomy for the digital classroom.
Remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. Though many of theses steps may seem as if they're happening within each other, or concurrently, I believe each is a fundamental part of learning. Each of these components builds on the previous, and much like math, one cannot simply skip steps. I would like to see someone go from basic knowledge to being evaluated on the the material, or possibly just be asked to analyze it deeply. I think this is a timeless approach to education, and can be easily used along side technology, or even to teach students about technology. Personally though, I would rather people used the terminology of the older version of the taxonomy. Worlds like knowledge and evaluation are more basic and understandable.
