I enjoyed this module and learned quite a lot about myself as a teacher. As an experienced teacher, I often use the "old" model of Bloom's. I planned lessons based on the original terms. However, as society changes we must also change our approaches in the classroom.
I found the video on Digital Taxonomy very enlightening. I noticed that Create was moved to the top and is also the center of the cognitive process. One profound statement I heard and will embrace is, "Digital tools are vehicles used to transform student thinking".
This module has helped me connect Bloom's Taxonomy to 21st-century skills in the following ways...
1. I need to provide my students with specific goals, however let them own their learning by being creative.
2. I want to use the 4Cs in my daily instruction/activities: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity.
3. I will allow my students to assess in a variety of ways, not just paper and pencil. Students will embrace their learning when they are allowed to be creativity. I really took in the new terminology: design - blog; invent - remix; construct - program. I also want to incorporate the 4Cs within assessments.
4. I plan to use data journals with my learners so they can take ownership of their learning. I would like to hold Learner, Parent, and Teacher conferences and have the learner lead the conference using their journal.
5. I want to make my lessons purposeful and meaningful to engage my leaners. While preparing to teach a standard, I want to focus on the literary terms and backwards design.
