A new assessment resource

October 21, 2020

A new assessment resource has come to my attention. It shows the keywords and synonyms in the SAMR and Bloom’s Taxonomy models, and apps which enable the teacher to address those areas.

In the assessment training I do, I look at around 17 different models and approaches to assessment, including SAMR, Bloom’s, and some variations of Bloom’s. I think before you can sensibly choose apps to use for assessment, you need to have a set of underlying assessment principles in place. Therefore, while I think the assessment wheel I’ll link to in a second is useful, it would definitely be even more useful in the context of a well thought out assessment strategy with clearly defined principles.

Anyway, here’s a link to the article in which the tool was mentioned, and which includes a link to it:

A new wonderful wheel on SAMR and Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy

If you found this article interesting and useful, why not subscribe to my newsletter, Digital Education? It’s been going since the year 2000, and has news, views and reviews for Computing and ed tech teachers — and useful tips.

Review of Blueprints

I submitted my review of this book to Teach Secondary magazine, an educational magazine in the UK. The first review is what the magazine published. The second one is what I actually wrote! In substantive terms there is little difference between the two, but you may find it interesting to see what the editor altered.
