Bloom’s Taxonomy and iPad Apps  LearningToday shares with everyone two beautiful posters, that help us remember Bloom’s Taxonomy: the Blooming Butterfly and the Blooming Orange. How do we connect the Bloom’s Taxonomy with the iPad? Following inDave Mileham and Kelly Tenkeley’s footsteps of assigning iPad apps to the different levels of the Bloom’s Taxonomy, I created the following table with apps that I have tested out and am recommending. (Click to see a larger version of the image) In order to make the cut, the app had to fulfill the criteria (from Wikipedia and according to the Blooming Orange’s verbs) set out for each level. You will notice that several apps that are in the same app category (ex. screencasting: ShowMe, ScreenChomp and ExplainEverything) are represented on different levels of the Bloom’s. I want to encourage/challenge you, to take a look at the iPad apps on YOUR iPad and to categorize these apps with the different thinking levels and THEN take the next step to SHARE your list with other educators.

Tagxedo - Word Cloud with Styles Learning to Learn home page "Since we cannot know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned." John Holt The Campaign defines 'learning to learn' as a process of discovery about learning. In brief, 'learning to learn' offers pupils an awareness of: how they prefer to learn and their learning strengths how they can motivate themselves and have the self-confidence to succeed things they should consider such as the importance of water, nutrition, sleep and a positive environment for learning some of the specific strategies they can use, for example to improve their memory or make sense of complex information some of the habits they should develop, such as reflecting on their learning so as to improve next time .
