Blooms Taxonomy and digitalization go hand in hand! 🚀 As we embrace #EdTech, we empower students to reach higher cognitive levels 🧠💡 From remembering to creating, online tools foster critical thinking, collaboration, and innovation 🌟 Let's revolutionize education together! 🎓 #BloomsTaxonomy #DigitalTransformation

I just posted a significant bit of analysis for #SentientSyllabus, a proof of concept for personalized assignments.

In the eighties, Benjamin Bloom (the Bloom of #Bloomstaxonomy) reported that one on one instruction can boost #studentperformance by two sigma! Ever since then, we have been searching for ways to scale this for our current realities in #education - but no breakthrough has appeared. Why are we not teaching this way if the results are so compelling? Because, as Bloom said: "it is too costly for most societies to bear on a large scale".

With the arrival of #generativeAI that limit will change.

I have worked out a proof of concept for personalized #assignment design that needs only a spreadsheet and ChatGPT. The spreadsheet builds a prompt that students can customize, ChatGPT writes out the assignment. No specialized software, technology, or third party involvement are needed.

Of course, the results need to be vetted - but the improvement becomes part of the learning process, and overall the process hands agency for learning back to the student: the assignment becomes theirs.

The proof of concept is done from the perspective of a #ComputationalBiology course I taught last year - but adapting it to other fields of #higherEd should be trivial. There is nothing inherently #STEM like in the approach - #humanities, #writing, #languageLearning ... there is no reason why this would not also work for other levels of education.

The potential is remarkable.

I encourage you to boost and share - this will be valuable for educators at all levels, and it will give us very concrete ways to harness the new opportunities. The key is #Agency .

There Is No Thinking without Memorizing

An education that encourages sympathy for the past, holding the possibility that it might have something to teach us, allows us to escape the echo chamber of our time and gain perspective, which is the seed of wisdom. #education #CriticalThinking #BloomsTaxonomy #history

@edutooters @jeffmoore @stemcoding @brndnpink @mguhlin @edutooter Thanks for sharing this. Very valid points. Bloom’s has always been a common language between educators. I need to read some of the latest research. @donwatkins #Bloomstaxonomy #blooms #edchat

@SBMost

Also important to learn about Bloom's taxonomy, but understand the way that it has been misused by people selling learning packages. I spent a couple of years looking up the articles, research. We can summarize it as "The good, the bad, and the ugly" LOL

Instead of that traditional pyramid, there's some useful alternative ideas and graphics here
