Bloom's Taxonomy and Web 2.0

Do you find this adaptation of Blooms to digital technology helpful in planning your curriculum?

Yes, somewhat useful. However, i beg to differ with some aspects of Bloom's digital Taxonomy.

E.g. The lowest order skill is "remember". Remember Skills involve students underlining, googling, retrieving. These skills are hardly helping anyone remember a fact or a concept. Some facts still need to be remembered especially in Science. These seem to be more organisational skills rather than learning skills. They are relying on the computer device to remember- not the student.




Where would you place other tools such as Second Life, Flikr or Mind mapping on this map?

Second Life: I would place it in analysing if simply exploring, if designing a model of a cell or something in second life that would be the highest order learning which is creating.

Flickr: remembering

Mind Maps: If creating a mind map then creating. If it is a collaborative mind map there would be some evaluation necessary.
