Bloom's Taxonomy Bloom's wheel, according to the Bloom's verbs and matching assessment types. The verbs are intended to be feasible and measurable. Bloom's taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives within education. It is named for Benjamin Bloom, who chaired the committee of educators that devised the taxonomy, and who also edited the first volume of the standard text, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives: The Classification of Educational Goals. Bloom's taxonomy refers to a classification of the different objectives that educators set for students (learning objectives). Bloom's taxonomy is considered to be a foundational and essential element within the education community. History[edit] Although named after Bloom, the publication of Taxonomy of Educational Objectives followed a series of conferences from 1949 to 1953, which were designed to improve communication between educators on the design of curricula and examinations.

Intentional use requires early childhood teachers and administrators to have information and resources regarding the nature of these tools and the implications of their use with children.

THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER Online - The Social Work Careers Magazine for Students and Recent Graduates - Articles, Jobs, & More - Electronic Connection: Handwriting vs. Keyboarding, Fountain Pens vs. PDAs by Marshall L. Smith, Ph.D., and Robert Rivas, MSW Okay, time to ask questions about where all this technology is leading us! Why, you might ask, is this a problem? What has replaced students’ ability to write cursively? A good friend of mine (Marshall’s) teases me unmercifully when we meet at conferences: When we need to check what sessions we are going to, or when I just need to make a note, I reach for my PDA, remove the stylus, open to the right screen, and start using “graffiti.” In the end, the time gained because of the use of technology may very well be equal to the time lost because of the same technology. Then, there’s data loss due to technology. And, what about our recent elections? One final question seems appropriate: what do we gain and lose by relying on technology to express ourselves to others? Marshall L.
