In the last year, we’ve seen a rapid improvement in the abilities of generative AI. It can take millions of pieces of data and reconfigure them into billions of pieces of content. However, shortcomings with data validity, misinformation, and algorithmic bias have deterred some educators from considering it a reliable tool.
When writing my keynote, I wondered if understanding AI’s cognitive abilities could help advocate for its utility. A familiar framework came to mind: Bloom’s Taxonomy.
When I was a teacher, Bloom’s played an important role in lesson planning and assessing the competencies of my learners. Recent critics have appropriately recognized that these cognitive levels shouldn’t be stacked linearly, but should be more of a spiral that volleys between levels as learning is happening. Either way, it’s been the most accessible representation of learning in the last 70 years.
