Bloom's Taxonomy Revisited

Almost everyone who has taken a course in education has heard of Bloom's Taxonomy.  It was created  to provide a common language for teachers to discuss learning and assessment methods. Bloom's Taxonomy is an ordering of an individuals' cognitive skills in order to help students and teachers in the classroom.  The levels move from remember being the lowest level to creating being the highest level.  The levels in Bloom's Taxonomy in order from lowest to highest are: remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate and create.

Bloom's Taxonomy

In our new world, with generative AI everywhere, Bloom's Taxonomy has been revisited by Oregon State University, to include information for each level pertaining to AI capabilities and distinctive human skills.  Review the information yourself in the link below.

ISTE AI Guides

Are you interested in learning more about Artificial Intelligence and how you can use it in your classroom?

Although learning about tools are great, learning how to use them in the classroom, both with students and to help us, is essential to appropriate usage.

ISTE  is the leading organization in teaching technology in the classroom.  ISTE stands for International Society for Technology in Education.  They are a nonprofit organization that provides resources, training and support that helps educators use technology to revolutionize learning. Their mission is to empower educators to reimagine and redesign learning through impactful pedagogy and meaningful technology use.

ISTE offers a series of Hands-On Project Guides for use in the classroom.  Each guide contains information about AI and projects to do in the classroom.

I will highlight a different guide each week for the next 5 weeks.  I hope you find them useful and informative.  Next week we will take a look at Ethics and AI.
