Bloom's Taxonomy


I've been thinking about Bloom's Taxonomy over the past couple of days in the context of both a project I've started in my US History course and as a result of some articles I've been reading.  Through serendipity, I also had the following links bookmarked from a while ago.  I particularly like the "digital taxonomy" mash-up -- it takes Lorin Anderson's updates of Bloom's work and drills down to specific actions and behaviors that enforce the learning activities of the cognitive domain.  And there are ipod apps...  so i love it all even more.  Take a look:

    1. Thanks for inspiring me to do something similar for a quiz on the Industrial Revolution. While I have done a similar exercise before, I hadn't in a while. The student-led discussions focusing on what to include on the quiz were quite thoughtful. Worked well. Thanks Hans.

  2. What I like most about the tech mash-up that you shared is that it's a reminder that our USE of technology--or how we demand that students use the technology--is much more important than the technology itself. Thanks Jason.
