At Teachthought, we have described Bloom’s taxonomy as “a hierarchical order of cognitive skills that can, among countless other uses, help teachers to teach and students to learn”.
Whether you conceive instructions, assess an assessment or observe a classroom, Bloom remains a powerful tool to understand how the thought occurs – and how we can better support it thanks to the intentional lesson design.
Bloom digital taxonomy Bases on this framework by aligning these same cognitive levels – you remember, understand, apply, analyze, assess and create – with digital tools, media and current tasks. In doing so, it helps educators design lessons rich in technology that promotes reflection, not just digital occupied work.
The graph below is a visual version of this concept. He maps common digital activities – such as blogs, podcasts, bookmarks, marking, networking and construction of wiki – for Bloom’s Bloom. Originally created by Andrew’s churches on Edorigami Wikispaces, now disappeared, this continuous adaptation of offering a useful means of visualizing how cognitive demand varies from one digital task to another.
