Education for the Apocalypse? Bloom’s Taxonomy: Bloomin’ Peacock Tomorrow I am doing a training on the Treasures Supplement that I created over the summer. Most of the supplemental suggestions fall into the bottom two tiers of Bloom’s Taxonomy (Remember and Understand). I want to show teachers that just because these activities help students practice basic skills and remember and understand, there are SO many more options that will reach the higher levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy! I created the Bloomin’ Peacock to show teachers the Blooms Taxonomy break down and the Bloomin’ digital Peacock that shows how the digital tools in the supplement break down. Below are the tools listed in my Bloomin’ Digital Peacock Bloomin' Digital Peacock Remember: BBC Skillwise- Spelling City- Starfall- Discovery Streaming- Lexipedia- YouTube- Gamegoo- PBS Kids- Apply:

De la simplicité Pourquoi ce billet? Léonard de Vinci disait que la simplicité était la sophistication suprême. J’ai récemment lu un ouvrage intitulé “De la simplicité”. Son auteur se propose d’”atteindre la simplicité à l’ère numérique”. Face à l’accroissement exponentiel des données numériques disponibles, on parle aujourd’hui d’infobésité, ce type de réflexion me semble vraiment répondre à un problème actuel. Je me suis également intéressé à cet ouvrage car la simplicité s’insère dans le cadre de ma recherche sur la simplexité qui me paraît un des concepts clés du mind mapping. D’autre part, d’un point de vue plus strictement méthodologique, je trouve que certaines lois de la simplicité présentées ici, sont applicable pour la conception de cartes heuristiques. L’auteur John Maeda est une autorité mondialement reconnue dans le domaine du Web Design, il a été également professeur des arts et sciences numériques au fameux MIT à Boston. Pearltree sur la simplexité : billets, ouvrages…. 1.
Mind Mapping and Bloom’s Taxonomy Taxonomy Strangely, the first question I get when talking about Bloom’s taxonomy is: ‘What is a taxonomy?’ This is typical of Bloom’s studies. It was an academic exercise, done by academics in Higher Education. This article aims to make things a bit easier for you, as there is great benefit in knowing the different levels of human thinking so that you can incorporate it in your learning. Oh yes, before I continue: Simply put, taxonomy is the practice and science of classification. And Bloom’s taxonomy is the classification of learning objectives within education. While it was actually a group of academics that developed the taxonomy, it has become synonymous with Bloom, who was the group leader. To apply Bloom’s Taxonomy, you first have to get an idea what the taxonomy is all about. The domains (Categories) I started out this article by trying to cover the whole taxonomy with detail, but soon realised that it was asking to much from you, the reader, to digest in one session. 1. 2. 3.

Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally 4/1/2008 By: Andrew Churches from Educators' eZine Introduction and Background: Bloom's Taxonomy In the 1950's Benjamin Bloom developed his taxonomy of cognitive objectives, Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy In the 1990's, a former student of Bloom, Lorin Anderson, revised Bloom's Taxonomy and published this- Bloom's Revised Taxonomy in 2001.Key to this is the use of verbs rather than nouns for each of the categories and a rearrangement of the sequence within the taxonomy. Bloom's Revised Taxonomy Sub Categories Each of the categories or taxonomic elements has a number of key verbs associated with it Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) The elements cover many of the activities and objectives but they do not address the new objectives presented by the emergence and integration of Information and Communication Technologies into the classroom and the lives of our students.

9 WAYS TO ASSESS WITHOUT STANDARDIZED TESTS 5/30/2012 By: Lisa Nielsen We know standardized testing is a challenge. But what’s the solution? Here are nine ways your school district can assess students without standardized tests: 1 Look at each student’s schoolwork: Students are doing work throughout the year. 2 Games: More games are being created to allow us to determine a student’s level of mastery by the ability to progress in a game. 3 Challenges: In real life, we’re assessed by how well we do, not by how well we fill in bubbles. 4 Badges and Points: Folks like Tom Vander Ark (author of Getting Smart) predict that badges will be big in education. 5 Real-World Work: Encourage your students to get out of the classroom and into the world by exploring an area of interest. iSchool is an example of a school that does this well with their Areas of Focus Program. 6 Real-World Projects: So many students are doing amazing work...just not in school.
The 21st Century Version So much have been written about Bloom’s taxonomy; one click in a search engine will flood your page with hundreds of articles all of which revolve around this taxonomy. Only few are those who have tried to customize it to fit in the 21st century educational paradigm. As a fan of Bloom’s pedagogy and being a classroom practitioner, I always look for new ways to improve my learning and teaching, and honestly speaking , if you are a teacher/ educator and still do not understand Bloom’s taxonomy then you are missing out on a great educational resource. The following article is a summary and a fruit of my long painstaking research in the field of Bloom’s taxonomy. Bloom’s taxonomy of learning as Wikipedia has put it is “ a classification of learning objectives within education proposed in 1956 by a committee of educators chaired by Benjamin Bloom ”. 1 – The cognitive : The intellectual or knowledge based domain consisted of 6 levels . Let us now go through the different domains stated here.
How Tech Will Transform the Traditional Classroom Ben Jackson is a writer and app developer living in Brooklyn, NY. He likes clean typography, dirty language, strong coffee, apple pie and comfortable chairs, and he writes about his obsessions at 90WPM. As the post-PC era moves from interesting theory to cold, hard reality, one of the most pressing questions is: How can we use tablets, and especially the iPad, to help people learn? Most of the focus has been on ebooks replacing textbooks, a trend fueled by Apple’s recent updates to iBooks. Specifically, the company released iBooks Author, a tool for creating immersive ebooks on the desktop. Plus, the new iPad is now the first tablet with a retina screen, making reading and watching multimedia on the device even more enjoyable. But technology is only as good as the system it’s applied to. Not Just a Textbook The iPad (not to mention the iPhone and iPod touch) is a personal, mobile computer capable of performing tasks unthinkable 10 years ago on a high-end desktop.

Teachers eat their young Teachers eat their young and education systems encourage them to do so. Too often beginning teachers are assigned too many courses with too many students and provided too little support. As a first year teacher, I was assigned five language arts classes at three different grade levels. Each class had about 30 students which means I was responsible for teaching about 150 students every day. If teacher preparation colleges mentored and supported beginning teachers for their first year of teaching, beginning teachers would benefit from further support and the teacher colleges could remain relevant and connected with real classrooms and schools. Local school boards, education departments, teachers' unions and teacher colleges need to collaborate in an effort to support and nurture beginning teachers. Some people complain that we have a hard time getting rid of bad teachers. Andy Hargreaves explains:
