A Digital Update for Bloom's Taxonomy

I just have to share one more thing....on the same Tech & Learning website that I talked about in my final activity, there was an article entitled "Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally." (http://techlearning.com/article/8670)

The original Bloom's taxonomy (red) was developed by Benjamin Bloom in the 1950's. In the 1990's a student of his revised and published "Bloom's Revised Taxonomy" (blue) in 2001, using verbs for each category. I'm not sure who the individual person is who should get credit, but this article adds digital tasks to each category (green)

• Knowledge became Remembering (bullet pointing, highlighting, bookmarking or favorite-ing, social networking, searching or Googling.)
• Comprehension became Understanding (Advanced & Boolean Searching, Blog Journaling, Twittering, Categorizing, Commenting & Annotating, Subscribing)
  
• Application became Applying (Running & operating, playing, uploading & sharing, hacking, editing)
  
• Analysis became Analyzing (mashing, linking, reverse-engineering, cracking, validating, tagging)
  
• Synthesis became Evaluating (Blog/vlog commenting & reflecting, posting, moderating, collaborating & networking, testing)
  
• Evaluation became Creating(programming, filming, animating, videocasting, podcastng, mixing & remixing, directing & producing, publishing, Video blogging, blogging, wiki-ing, building Mash ups)

This is a great article to read to see what level of thinking we are asking our students to do when assigning digital projects or tasks.
