Week 2 Reflection

Blooms Taxonomy, SAMR Model and Digital Pedagogy


I had never heard of Blooms Taxonomy or the SAMR Model before so these were both new ideas/concepts for me to familiarise myself with this week which has been somewhat overwhelming, as well as the relation to them and digital pedagogies. After working through the activities and reading  I felt the SAMR Model would be an excellent starting point for any teacher (pre-service of graduate) to use in deciding when it is appropriate to use digital technologies in their classroom to enhance the learning of their students. This is certainly something that I will be using in my workshop to enhance my students learning experience with the use of ICT or indeed whether the use of ICT is appropriate for the task. With not knowing a great deal about ICT and never really using it for learning before, it would be easy for me to fall into the ‘Substitution’ category by trying too hard to implement it in my lessons and therefor Blooms taxonomy would also support me in this issue. Hopefully with the use of both Blooms Taxonomy and SAMR Model I would be able to create activities that utilized ICT to the greatest potential in the classroom.
