Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs (with AI-Aware Class Instances)
Blossom’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs adapt Bloom’s cognitive structure for electronic learning. Each level– from remembering to producing– couple with purposeful modern technology actions (including AI) so the emphasis remains on believing instead of devices.
Bearing in mind
Remember, retrieve, or identify facts and meanings.
- Remember: Listing crucial terms for a device glossary.
- Find: Locate a primary-source quote supporting a claim.
- Bookmark: Conserve qualified sources to a shared collection.
- Tag: Apply precise key phrases to organize resources.
- Recover: Use spaced-repetition/flashcards to review solutions.
- Motivate (recall): Ask an AI to reiterate definitions from course notes, after that validate with sources.
Comprehending
Explain, sum up, analyze, and compare ideas.
- Sum up: Write a concise abstract of a podcast episode.
- Paraphrase: Reword a thick paragraph to make clear meaning.
- Annotate: Add notes that explain motif and proof in a shared doc.
- Contrast: Build a side-by-side graph of 2 plans.
- Explain: Tape a short screencast describing a process.
- Motivate (describe): Ask an AI to clarify a principle at two quality levels; cite-check claims.
Using
Usage knowledge to execute jobs, solve problems, or produce artefacts.
- Show: Record a functioned example solving a square.
- Execute: Run a simulation and report results.
- Prototype: Construct a low-fidelity design in Slides or Canva.
- Code: Create a brief script to change or validate data.
- Apply rubric: Score an example product using standards.
- Improve prompt: Iteratively readjust an AI trigger to fulfill constraints (audience, size, citations).
Analyzing
Damage ideas apart, identify patterns and connections, take a look at structure.
- Analyze: Contrast 2 content for bias making use of a proof checklist.
- Organize: Create a timeline that separates domino effects.
- Categorize: Kind insurance claims, proof, and thinking right into groups.
- Picture: Build charts that reveal patterns in a dataset.
- Trace sources: Confirm quotes and attributions back to originals.
- Compare models: Assess two AI outcomes on precision and transparency.
Evaluating
Court high quality, warrant decisions, and protect positions making use of requirements.
- Review: Provide evidence-based responses on a peer draft.
- Validate: Fact-check statistics and mention reliable resources.
- Modest: Help with a course conversation for significance and respect.
- A/B examine: Examination 2 options and validate the stronger option.
- Red-team: Stress-test an AI-generated prepare for threats and errors.
- Mirror: Write a process note validating tactical options with criteria.
Creating
Synthesize concepts to produce initial, purposeful job.
- Layout: Strategy a product with target market, objective, and restraints.
- Compose: Produce a podcast/video explaining a real-world problem.
- Remix ethically: Change public-domain/CC media with attribution.
- Model (hi-fi): Build a polished artefact and user-test it.
- Chain (AI): Manage multi-step AI tasks (overview → draft → cite-check → modification) with human oversight.
- Automate: Use basic scripts/AI agents to simplify an operations; file limitations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Exactly how were these verbs selected?
They show typical electronic classroom actions mapped to Bloom’s levels, updated for trustworthiness (platform-agnostic) and present method (consisting of AI). Each verb consists of a short example so the cognitive intent is clear.
Just how should I analyze these tasks?
Pair each verb with standards that match the degree (e.g., analysis calls for evidence patterns, not recall) and require pupils to reveal process– planning notes, punctual logs, cite-checks, and revisions.
