Techlearning > > Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally > April 1, 2008 - 0 views

  • Bloom's Taxonomy Blooms Digitally
  • This categorized and ordered thinking skills and objectives. His taxonomy follows the thinking process. You can not understand a concept if you do not first remember it, similarly you can not apply knowledge and concepts if you do not understand them. It is a continuum from Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) to Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). Bloom labels each category with a gerund.

    How does Bloom's Taxonomy translate in the digital realm?

  • Though they knew their facts, the students could not form interpretations or reach conclusions when given historical material

    Nice blog post delving into the topic of higher order thinking skills, and the lack thereof as educational outcomes.

A Year to Think - 3 views

  •  
    We've taken the kids out of school, rented out the house, purchased around-the-world tickets, planned as much as we can, packed as little as we can, and now we're setting out to see the world. Or at least as much of it as we can over twelve months. It's a year to grow, to learn, to create, to live, to give, and to think. Together. Feel free to follow along.

CAIS Commission on Professional Development | CPD Blog for CAIS Colleagues to Share Pro... - 2 views

  • This post, written by Justine Fellows, is the first of a series of posts written by members of the CAIS Commission on Technology. 
  •  
    You are invited to join our new professional development blog; enter the conversation and write posts about important issues that focus your learning and help other CAIS colleagues. Think of our blog as a faculty lounge for all CAIS educators. It's our venue to share professional learning, ask questions, and give advice:  [ http://caisct.wordpress.com/ ]http://caisct.wordpress.com/ Just as an "unconference" moves forward with a participant driven spirit, the Commission of Professional Development created this blog to be a forum for CAIS educators to exchange thoughts, questions and insights about important issues in our learning communities. Email [ mailto:bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org ]bsullivan@suffieldacademy.org for a simple step to becoming a member of this blog. What do we hope this blog will become? An opportunity for CAIS educators to jettison inhibitions that they may have about "writing in the social media" world and break into the digital forum by sharing the wisdom we know exists among CAIS minds. Click on this Edutopia link for an example of a dynamic blog for educators:  [ http://www.edutopia.org/blog/balancing-work-and-life-teacher-elena-aguilar ]http://www.edutopia.org/blog/balancing-work-and-life-teacher-elena-aguilar Imagine that the above content of that post and comments were specific to CAIS educators-perhaps from a colleague! The content would be so useful. Moving forward, the CAIS blog will host interesting topics with comment threads that relate to the contexts of CAIS learning communities because CAIS educators know a great deal about teaching and learning. The blog will also be another lens to design professional development programs. The CPD wants to read your posts. Also sign up for updates by clicking on the "Follow Blog via Email" hyperlink so that you can follow your colleagues: [ http://caisct.wordpress.com/ ]http://caisct.wordpress.com/

Unlearning How to Teach - 1 views

  •  
    The shift from 'sage on the stage' to 'guide on the side', while it has served an important function in shifting the focus from the teacher to the learner, does not capture the fullness of the implications of this shift. We have been hearing about the importance of 'lifelong learning' for some time now in formal education. If, as Bauman asserts, 'unlearning' will be as important to social success in the 21st millennium as learning has been in the 20th millennium, then the habit of 'lifelong learning' will need radical re-thinking in terms of the nature and purposes of pedagogical work. Put simply, we will need to see a further shift from sage-on-the-stage and guide-on-the-side to meddler-in-the-middle (McWilliam, 2005).

  • The report says every aspect of the U.S. education system--from pre-kindergarten to postsecondary and adult education, including after-school and teacher preparation programs--"must be aligned to prepare citizens with the 21st-century skills they need to compete." It encourages U.S. schools to do a better job of teaching and measuring advanced, 21st-century skills beyond simply assessing science, reading, and math. In addition, it outlines several actions at the national, state, and local levels that U.S. leaders must undertake to improve economic results and better prepare citizens to participate in the 21st-century economy. "All Americans, not just an elite few, need 21st-century skills that will increase their marketability, employability, and readiness for citizenship," the report says.  These skills include critical thinking and judgment, complex problem solving, creative thinking, and communication and collaboration.

I'm So Totally, Digitally Close to You - Clive Thompson - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • The current generation is never unconnected. They’re never losing touch with their friends. So we’re going back to a more normal place, historically. If you look at human history, the idea that you would drift through life, going from new relation to new relation, that’s very new. It’s just the 20th century.”

    This last page captures something I've been thinking--that privacy is actual the abnormal state. We're meant to have connections we can't escape.

Web 2.0 Is the Future of Education (Techlearning blog) - 0 views

  • I believe that the read/write Web, or what we are calling Web 2.0, will culturally, socially, intellectually, and politically have a greater impact than the advent of the printing press.
  • Because it is in the act of our becoming a creator that our relationship with content changes, and we become more engaged and more capable at the same time. In a world of overwhelming content, we must swim with the current or tide (enough with water analogies!).
  • You may think that you don't have anything to teach the generation of students who seem so tech-savvy, but they really, really need you. For centuries we have had to teach students how to seek out information – now we have to teach them how to sort from an overabundance of information. We've spent the last ten years teaching students how to protect themselves from inappropriate content – now we have to teach them to create appropriate content. They may be "digital natives," but their knowledge is surface level, and they desperately need training in real thinking skills.

  • We may be afraid to enter that world, but enter it we must, for they often swim in uncharted waters without the benefit of adult guidance.

    This is why literacy still matters more than anything else.

21st Century Education: Thinking Creatively at Students 2.0 - 0 views

  • Twenty-first century education won’t be defined by any new technology. It won’t be defined by 1:1 laptop programs or tech-intensive projects. Twenty-first century education will, however, be defined by a fundamental shift in what we are teaching—a shift towards learner-centered education and creating creative thinkers.
  • The need to know the capital of Florida died when my phone learned the answer. Rather, the students of tomorrow need to be able to think creatively: they will need to learn on their own, adapt to new challenges and innovate on-the-fly
