Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs (with AI-Aware Classroom Instances)
Flower’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs adapt Bloom’s cognitive structure for digital learning. Each degree– from remembering to producing– pairs with deliberate technology actions (consisting of AI) so the focus remains on assuming instead of devices.
Bearing in mind
Remember, retrieve, or recognize realities and definitions.
- Remember: Checklist crucial terms for a device glossary.
- Locate: Find a primary-source quote supporting a case.
- Book marking: Conserve credible sources to a common collection.
- Tag: Apply accurate search phrases to organize resources.
- Fetch: Use spaced-repetition/flashcards to review formulas.
- Prompt (recall): Ask an AI to reiterate interpretations from course notes, after that verify with resources.
Comprehending
Explain, summarize, translate, and compare concepts.
- Summarize: Compose a concise abstract of a podcast episode.
- Paraphrase: Rephrase a dense paragraph to make clear definition.
- Annotate: Add notes that describe motif and proof in a shared doc.
- Compare: Develop a side-by-side chart of 2 plans.
- Explain: Tape-record a short screencast clarifying a procedure.
- Prompt (describe): Ask an AI to explain an idea at two grade levels; cite-check insurance claims.
Using
Use expertise to execute tasks, resolve issues, or create artifacts.
- Show: Tape a functioned example addressing a square.
- Execute: Run a simulation and record results.
- Prototype: Construct a low-fidelity model in Slides or Canva.
- Code: Write a short script to transform or confirm information.
- Apply rubric: Rating a sample item utilizing criteria.
- Refine timely: Iteratively readjust an AI prompt to satisfy restrictions (audience, size, citations).
Examining
Break ideas apart, determine patterns and relationships, take a look at framework.
- Assess: Compare 2 editorials for bias making use of an evidence checklist.
- Arrange: Develop a timeline that separates domino effects.
- Classify: Sort claims, proof, and reasoning right into categories.
- Picture: Develop graphes that reveal trends in a dataset.
- Trace resources: Verify quotes and attributions back to originals.
- Compare models: Review 2 AI outputs on precision and openness.
Reviewing
Judge top quality, warrant decisions, and defend positions utilizing requirements.
- Critique: Give evidence-based comments on a peer draft.
- Validate: Fact-check data and cite authoritative sources.
- Modest: Facilitate a class conversation for importance and respect.
- A/B review: Examination 2 solutions and warrant the stronger choice.
- Red-team: Stress-test an AI-generated plan for dangers and mistakes.
- Show: Create a process note validating tactical options with requirements.
Producing
Synthesize ideas to generate original, purposeful work.
- Style: Plan a product with target market, purpose, and constraints.
- Make up: Produce a podcast/video clarifying a real-world problem.
- Remix fairly: Transform public-domain/CC media with acknowledgment.
- Prototype (stereo): Construct a polished artifact and user-test it.
- Chain (AI): Manage multi-step AI jobs (summary → draft → cite-check → modification) with human oversight.
- Automate: Use straightforward scripts/AI representatives to improve an operations; record limitations.
Regularly Asked Questions
How were these verbs chosen?
They reflect common electronic class actions mapped to Blossom’s degrees, updated for credibility (platform-agnostic) and existing practice (including AI). Each verb includes a short instance so the cognitive intent is clear.
Just how should I evaluate these jobs?
Set each verb with requirements that match the level (e.g., evaluation needs proof patterns, not recall) and require pupils to show procedure– planning notes, prompt logs, cite-checks, and alterations.
