Flower’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs (with AI-Aware Classroom Examples)
Flower’s Digital Taxonomy Verbs adjust Bloom’s cognitive structure for electronic discovering. Each degree– from remembering to developing– pairs with purposeful technology actions (including AI) so the emphasis remains on thinking rather than devices.
Remembering
Recall, get, or acknowledge facts and definitions.
- Remember: Listing vital terms for a device glossary.
- Situate: Locate a primary-source quote sustaining a case.
- Book mark: Conserve legitimate sources to a shared collection.
- Tag: Apply accurate search phrases to organize resources.
- Fetch: Use spaced-repetition/flashcards to assess solutions.
- Prompt (recall): Ask an AI to restate definitions from course notes, after that verify with sources.
Comprehending
Explain, summarize, analyze, and contrast concepts.
- Summarize: Compose a succinct abstract of a podcast episode.
- Paraphrase: Rephrase a dense paragraph to clarify meaning.
- Annotate: Include notes that clarify motif and evidence in a common doc.
- Contrast: Construct a side-by-side chart of two plans.
- Explain: Record a brief screencast clarifying a procedure.
- Motivate (discuss): Ask an AI to clarify a principle at two quality degrees; cite-check cases.
Using
Usage expertise to execute tasks, solve problems, or produce artifacts.
- Show: Tape-record a worked example fixing a square.
- Execute: Run a simulation and record results.
- Model: Build a low-fidelity model in Slides or Canva.
- Code: Write a short script to transform or validate information.
- Apply rubric: Score a sample item using criteria.
- Refine prompt: Iteratively change an AI motivate to satisfy constraints (audience, length, citations).
Evaluating
Damage ideas apart, determine patterns and relationships, analyze structure.
- Evaluate: Contrast two editorials for predisposition utilizing an evidence list.
- Arrange: Develop a timeline that separates causes and effects.
- Identify: Type cases, proof, and reasoning into groups.
- Picture: Construct charts that expose trends in a dataset.
- Trace resources: Confirm quotes and acknowledgments back to originals.
- Compare models: Evaluate 2 AI outputs on precision and transparency.
Assessing
Court high quality, warrant choices, and protect settings using standards.
- Critique: Supply evidence-based responses on a peer draft.
- Validate: Fact-check data and mention authoritative resources.
- Moderate: Promote a class conversation for importance and regard.
- A/B assess: Examination two services and warrant the more powerful selection.
- Red-team: Stress-test an AI-generated plan for threats and errors.
- Reflect: Create a procedure note warranting critical choices with criteria.
Creating
Manufacture concepts to produce original, deliberate work.
- Layout: Plan a product with target market, purpose, and constraints.
- Make up: Generate a podcast/video clarifying a real-world issue.
- Remix ethically: Transform public-domain/CC media with acknowledgment.
- Prototype (hi-fi): Develop a refined artifact and user-test it.
- Chain (AI): Orchestrate multi-step AI jobs (synopsis → draft → cite-check → alteration) with human oversight.
- Automate: Use straightforward scripts/AI agents to streamline an operations; file limitations.
Regularly Asked Concerns
How were these verbs picked?
They reflect usual digital classroom actions mapped to Blossom’s degrees, upgraded for integrity (platform-agnostic) and present method (including AI). Each verb consists of a brief instance so the cognitive intent is clear.
How should I assess these jobs?
Pair each verb with requirements that match the level (e.g., evaluation calls for evidence patterns, not recall) and require students to show procedure– planning notes, timely logs, cite-checks, and alterations.
