21st Century standards and Blooms May 12, 2008
Posted by Debbie Stafford in : Standards , trackbackI was reading this article from techlearning Bloom’s Taxonomy Blooms Digitally. The article covers the original Bloom’s Taxonomy and Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy then goes on to discuss a Bloom’s digital taxonomy map looking at many web2.0 applications and where they would fit.
Then I was reading through the Standards for the 21st Century Learner in Action also mentioned elsewhere on the blog.
It then occurred to me to see if the two documents would match up. In a fast review it seems to me that creating, the top of the taxonomy isn’t there while remembering and Understanding are well represented.
Any other thoughts?

Thanks for pointing out this resource, Debbie. This kind of information will be helpful to us as we move forward with the remaining standards and try to incorporate technology and Web 2.0 applications with different levels of thinking and doing. It will be especially pertinent to Standard 2: Draw conclusions, make informed decisions, apply knowledge to new situations, and create new knowledge.
I urge you and other readers to submit your comments and suggestions to StandardsInAction@ala.org and also to use the template provided at http://www.ala.org/ala/aasl/aaslproftools/standardsinaction/standardsinaction.cfm to contribute your own action examples.
The more input we get from members, the stronger and more useful the final document will be to practitioners in the field.
