Every now and then, I bookmark something that someone sends me and I get busy and don't get back to it immediately. I ran into one of these "filed for later" items today while I was searching for content for the ACPA (a national Student Affair's conference) presentation that I will be giving at the end of the month as well as talking about it to our internal Cocurricular Learning Group in a couple of weeks too. In Student Affairs, we use Bloom's Taxonomy to help write our learning outcomes. I remembered seeing the update to Bloom's Taxonomy that came out last year sometime, but only skimmed it so I didn't know how much had changed. Here's the link to the Educational Origami web site that has lots of information on it if you want to check it out.
What I found was really useful to me. Not only did I find the info that I was looking for, I got a big bonus on top of it. As I suspected the model had been updated to incorporate verbs instead of nouns for each level, but digital language was also added throughout specifically for Web 2.0 skills. When I get back to working on the Web 2.0 tools overview that I blogged about developing earlier, I can use the document to help me with the pedagogical stuff. It is full of rubrics and examples that I can use. I don't have to come up with everything on my own, so I might be able to get this done more quickly than I had hoped. I was planning on putting a call out to the community and I still will, but this document will give me a great starting point. This document is also a good tool for working with faculty and helping them understand how to assess learning using Web 2.0 tools. Just thought I'd share just in case anyone else filed it away for later.
Note:
bloom's Digital taxonomy v3.0.pdf is the document that I am talking about that updates some of the language as well as adds examples of how to apply the taxonomy to Web 2.0 tools and ubiquitous computing skills if you want to download it as a pdf.
