Andrew Churches’s Project Based Learning Institute session was informative and overloading and full of gems!

• A great way to people up and talking to one another

Andrew managed to keep us engaged and busy for four hours as we made our way through the mirad of information surrounding his own classroom teaching, Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy and how it all fits with Project Based Learning.

Rather than try to recall all of the information Andrew passed our way – here’s a list of links to his wiki Educational Origami that stood out for me:

Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy – loved the activity we had to do – match the task to the Bloom’s level! Very informative – and sparked really deep conversations about the complexities of tasks

Bloom’s and ICT Tools – check out the really clear diagram!

The following are quick resources for Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. Each sheet has keywords, activities and technologies that correspond to each taxonomic level.The activities that are represented at each level are not an indication that the student is creating or evaluating, rather tools that can lead to this. As always its the quality of the work rather than the tool or technique that is key.

2 – Understanding.pdf
3 – Applying.pdf
4 – Analysing.pdf
5 – Evaluating.pdf
6 – Creating.pdf

4D’s project based learning presentation the 4 D’s.pdf – this was really helpful!
Activity Mapping Tool A3.pdf – this tool is useful in the planning of project based learning and maps the Bloom’s taxonomic level against a modified Daggett’s application model

But don’t stop there – bookmark this wiki and be prepared to loose a couple of hours or five as you navigate your way around the resources!!
