Bloom’s Taxonomy

Week 5 TUDYDESK and my EDC 1300 Friend  rachelcostigan.wordpress.com there is lot of information about Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Blooms Taxonomy is a framework that I have believed in my teaching pedagogy for effective classrooms. The framework elaborates by Bloom consists of six major categories and each category contain sub categories all lying in a continuum from simple to complex and concrete to abstract (Armstrong, 2012). According to Forehand (2012), Blooms Taxonomy has also closely linked with multiple intelligence (Noble, cited in Forehand, 2012) problem solving skills, creative and critical thinking and more recently, technology integration.

Below framework shows that student‘s to think from simple stages linking to high order thinking skills.  

Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy

Other thing I have notice is   Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. i believed that  is very useful for teachers as a guideline to plan lessons for the children which integrate ICT tools. Moreover, the learning that teachers plan for children will start from lower level and moves on to higher level. What children have learnt from the previous level will also bring to the next level to apply their knowledge.

 For example, at REMEMBERING level, children have to do finding by searching for online information. When comes to the next level – UNDERSTANDING, children will learn to compare on the searching they had done and comment about it. Then, it goes on to the next level until the highest level which is the CREATING. Therefore, teachers can use Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy to plan many different ICT lessons for children using different ICT tools.

 For extra information I had found this  link read this and understand more about
