  • Bloom's Digital Taxonomy ~ Andrew Churches

    This is an update to Bloom's revised taxonomy to account for the new behaviours emerging as technology advances and becomes more ubiquitous. Bloom's revised taxonomy accounts for many of the traditional classroom practices, behaviours and actions but does not account for the new processes and actions associated with web 2.0 technologies and increasing ubiquitous computing.

  • The End of Literacy? Don't Stop Reading. - washingtonpost.com

    • But whatever our digital future brings, we need to overcome the perils of dualistic thinking, the notion that what lies ahead is either a utopia or a dystopia. If we're going to make sense of what's happening with literacy in our culture, we need to be able to triangulate: to bear in mind our needs and desires, the media as they once were and currently are, and the media as they're continually transforming.

    * Our greatest fear, in bringing computers into the classroom, is that we teachers and instructors and lecturers will lose control of the classroom, lose touch with the students, lose the ability to make a difference.
    * Although RateMyProfessors.com has enlightened students, it has made the work of educational administrators exponentially more difficult.
    * The lesson is simple: control is over. This is not about control anymore. This is about finding a way to survive and thrive in chaos.
    * ...net filtering throws the baby out with the bathwater.
    * Education happens everywhere, not just with your nose down in a book, or stuck into a computer screen.
    * The instructor facilitates and mentors, as they have always done, but they are no longer the gatekeepers, because there are no gatekeepers, anywhere.
    * The center of this argument is simple, though subtle: the more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes.
    * You can’t download experience. You can’t bottle it. Experience has to be lived, and that requires a teacher.
    * Recommendations: 1) Capture Everything, 2) Share Everything, 3) Open Everything, 4) Only Connect
    * All of this [filtering] has got to stop. The classroom does not exist in isolation, nor can it continue to exist in opposition to the Internet.
    * Mind the maxim of the 21st century: connection is king. Students must be free to connect with instructors... administration... [and] their peers.
    * The challenge of connectivity is nowhere near as daunting as the capabilities it delivers.
