This compendium of ICT-related skills for the 21st century is worth scrutinizing – Blooms digital taxonomy.
The original version of Bloom’s taxonomy, and the revised version, are fine as far as they go. But, as author of the digital taxonomy, Andrew Churches, notes:
“The elements and actions cover many of the actions we undertake in our classroom practice, but they do not address the newer objectives, processes and actions presented by the emergence and integration of ICT into the classroom and the impact on the lives of our students”.
This digital taxonomy is an attempt to build on Bloom’s revised taxonomy and to redress the omission.
One Response to “So what should we be teaching our kids?”
I really think that we should all read this Kevin. It forms a good basis for our PLP project. Our faculty heads should also be reading it. I downloaded the document if you want to send it around
