Lesson 1: Bloom's Digital Taxonomy
Bloom's Digital Taxonomy updates Bloom's Revised Taxonomy for the digital age. It takes the elements of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy that were not applicable to a world filled with media and Web 2.0 technology and revises and updates the terms for the new resources available to educators, preparing students for a digital world.
Bloom's Digital Taxonomy isn't about telling teachers what types of technological tools to use in your classroom. It's about learning what to look for when designing instruction. The cognitive levels present in Bloom's digital taxonomy are just as valid whether you are teaching using a brand new web 2.0 app or asking students to craft a poster for a class presentation.
The following presentation describes the relationship between Bloom's Technology, Bloom's Revised Technology, and Bloom's Digital Technology. Below the presentation are summaries of the six areas of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy and the additional skills referenced through Bloom's Digital Taxonomy.
