Bloom's Taxonomy Meets the Digital Age
Whether this is your first year in a 1:1 classroom or if you have a few years experience integrating technology, one cannot deny the changing state of education in the technical realm. I have read the research that describes our students as digital natives and teachers as digital immigrants. According to Marc Prensky, "Our students have changed radically. Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach."
We live in an age where the students in our classroom will grow up never not having a basic knowledge or understanding of the Internet, social media, or high tech gadgets. We must adapt. No one can argue with the fact that technology automatically raises the level of engagement and motivation in the classroom setting. Because educational technology can be overwhelming, it is good to surround yourself with a supportive and collaborative group that will help you identify tech that can be effectively integrated to support daily instruction. This graphic shows how specific apps can help a teacher teach on the various levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. Use your QR reader to read some of the blog articles that offer a bit more explanation. This is something else that can be used in a classroom - def. with those students who may be reluctant readers.
