"As education changes, it depends primarily on internal catalysts for that change. That is, the “things” that change it are on the “inside” of that system itself, most notably data, assessment, PLCs, and running a distant fourth, technology... At some point, this will change. Eventually the tethers will break and education–in whatever form or forms–will shoot forward like it’s been held back in a slingshot for nearly a century..."

"Bloom’s Taxonomy can be a powerful tool to transform teaching and learning. By design, it focuses attention away from content and instruction, and instead emphasizes the “cognitive events” in the mind of a child. And this is no small change"
Beth Dichter's insight:
But we are in the 21st century. How should we look at Bloom's today? This post suggests four strategies to use as we look at the 21st century skills "which include persistent connectivity, dynamic media forms, information-rich (digital and non-digital) environments, and an emphasis on visibility for pretty much everything." * Use every level * Use asynchronous collaboration * Allow students to BYOM * Use Bloom's spiraling Additional information on each of these strategies is available in the post.

As I become a better facilitator it is important to find engaging, effective and efficient methods and strategies within the classrooms of our children; as well as for all adults attending brick & mortor or online colleges. Bloom's Taxonomy is an essential tool!

"Teachers are the arbitrators of knowledge and culture. Knowledge and culture are each dynamic, endlessly crashing and churning. This makes teaching significantly important and difficult work, and can leave teaching—as a craft—wide-eyed and nonplussed in response. Worse, those outside the bubble of education can understandably struggle to understand the problem. What are the teaching in those schools anyway? How is it any different from when I was in school?"
Beth Dichter's insight:
How has teaching changed? Below are the seven key ideas. . 1. A culture of emerging literacies 2. A society that is mobile 3. A world where equity is a central theme 4. A society of constant connectivity 5. A world where the technology learns, too 6. A context that demands new credibility in an era of information 7. A culture that can seem, well, distracted Many teachers may be overwhelmed with these changes and may require professional development to help them develop new skills that technology brings. But change has happened before and will continue to happen. The question is how are we adapting to the changes and how can we assist our students in becoming independent learners in this new age of learning?

2. Students are clients.
3. Adaptive software can replace 75% of what a teacher does.
4. YouTube is way, way more engaging than reading and writing.
5. Reading and writing should be social.
6. The disruption of mobile technology will be complete.
