Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs (with AI-Aware Classroom Examples)
Blossom’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs adjust Bloom’s cognitive framework for electronic discovering. Each degree– from keeping in mind to developing– couple with deliberate innovation actions (including AI) so the emphasis remains on assuming as opposed to devices.
Remembering
Recall, retrieve, or identify facts and meanings.
- Recall: Checklist essential terms for a system glossary.
- Find: Discover a primary-source quote sustaining a claim.
- Book mark: Save legitimate sources to a shared collection.
- Tag: Apply accurate key words to arrange sources.
- Retrieve: Use spaced-repetition/flashcards to examine formulas.
- Prompt (recall): Ask an AI to restate definitions from course notes, then validate with sources.
Understanding
Explain, summarize, interpret, and compare ideas.
- Sum up: Compose a concise abstract of a podcast episode.
- Paraphrase: Reword a thick paragraph to clear up definition.
- Annotate: Add notes that explain style and evidence in a common doc.
- Compare: Construct a side-by-side chart of 2 plans.
- Explain: Tape a short screencast explaining a procedure.
- Motivate (describe): Ask an AI to clarify a concept at two grade levels; cite-check claims.
Applying
Use knowledge to perform jobs, fix issues, or produce artifacts.
- Demonstrate: Videotape a functioned instance fixing a quadratic.
- Execute: Run a simulation and report outcomes.
- Model: Build a low-fidelity version in Slides or Canva.
- Code: Write a short manuscript to change or validate data.
- Apply rubric: Score an example product using standards.
- Improve timely: Iteratively readjust an AI prompt to fulfill constraints (audience, length, citations).
Evaluating
Break principles apart, determine patterns and relationships, analyze structure.
- Evaluate: Contrast two content for bias using an evidence checklist.
- Organize: Produce a timeline that separates domino effects.
- Classify: Sort cases, evidence, and thinking right into categories.
- Picture: Build charts that expose trends in a dataset.
- Trace resources: Validate quotes and attributions back to originals.
- Contrast models: Review 2 AI outputs on precision and openness.
Assessing
Court quality, warrant choices, and defend placements using criteria.
- Critique: Provide evidence-based responses on a peer draft.
- Validate: Fact-check statistics and cite authoritative sources.
- Modest: Assist in a class discussion for importance and regard.
- A/B assess: Test two solutions and validate the more powerful option.
- Red-team: Stress-test an AI-generated plan for threats and mistakes.
- Show: Compose a process note validating tactical selections with criteria.
Creating
Manufacture ideas to produce original, deliberate work.
- Style: Plan an item with target market, purpose, and restraints.
- Make up: Produce a podcast/video explaining a real-world issue.
- Remix morally: Change public-domain/CC media with acknowledgment.
- Model (hi-fi): Build a refined artefact and user-test it.
- Chain (AI): Coordinate multi-step AI tasks (overview → draft → cite-check → modification) with human oversight.
- Automate: Usage simple scripts/AI agents to improve an operations; file restrictions.
Often Asked Questions
Just how were these verbs picked?
They show usual digital classroom actions mapped to Flower’s levels, updated for reputation (platform-agnostic) and existing method (including AI). Each verb includes a short instance so the cognitive intent is clear.
Exactly how should I examine these jobs?
Pair each verb with requirements that match the degree (e.g., evaluation calls for proof patterns, not recall) and need students to reveal process– preparing notes, prompt logs, cite-checks, and revisions.
