Since its publication in 1956, Bloom’s Taxonomy has been a foundation of most modern education systems. While the overarching principles have remained the same, changes in understanding, experience and technology have seen the Taxonomy take on a number of different forms, for a number of different purposes and applications.
The below overview shows the progression of Bloom’s Taxonomy, how each thinking skill applies in practice, and examples of activities using digital tools.
A flood of AI-generated content It’s a fact that AI is capable of producing convincing and often useful text and other content. Yes, there are concerns about the quality, accuracy and even the environmental impact of that content, but there’s no doubt AI can produce it and that it is already widespread. It is legitimate to ask now whether any piece of content was authored

AI tools can undercut learning, true, but the real question is why would anyone choose to use them this way? We need to examine the motivating factors that drive people to want to take short cuts.
"A study by Michael Gerlich at SBS Swiss Business School has found that increased reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) tools is linked to diminished critical thinking abilities. It points to cognitive offloading as a primary driver of the decline."
"Statistical analyses demonstrated a significant negative correlation between AI tool usage and critical thinking scores (r = -0.68, p < 0.001). Frequent AI users exhibited diminished ability to critically evaluate information and engage in reflective problem-solving."

The big takeaway: Education should prioritize meaningful learning over high-stakes testing, which fosters anxiety, stifles critical thinking, and undermines true innovation.
From formative and summative assessment to criterion-referenced and benchmark assessment, each type of assessment has a unique function.

This classic group learning strategy can help students communicate, collaborate, and empathize with one another—fighting back against a growing sense of disconnection in schools.
The “jigsaw classroom” is a cooperative learning approach originally designed by psychologist Elliot Aronson to build up empathy in recently-desegregated classrooms. In the jigsaw system, each student receives one small part of a bigger lesson—then, in small groups, students have to pool their knowledge together and teach each other what they learned. “Aronson compared it to gift-giving,” says social psychologist Geoffrey Cohen. “When I give a gift, I feel a sense of attachment to the person I’m giving it to—and vice versa.”
Cohen walks us through the classic jigsaw research from the 1970s, and lays out how the strategy can help the modern-day teacher looking to boost empathy, collaboration, and a sense of belonging in their classroom.
In today’s educational landscape, generative AI is emerging as a powerful tool that can change the way we teach and learn. For educational leaders, Generative AI's potential is both vast and inspiring, offering significant opportunities to enhance educational outcomes, foster creativity, and, most importantly, prepare students for a future where AI is an integral part of every work and life.
Generative AI tools are versatile and capable of supporting a wide range of educational modalities. From personalized learning experiences to collaborative projects, generative AI will be able to adapt to each student's unique needs, offering tailored support to help maximize individual potential. Imagine classrooms where an educator’s lesson plans are dynamically customized to suit the pace and style of each learner, or where virtual tutors provide instant feedback and encouragement. These AI-driven experiences are starting to become a reality in some educational environments.
Khan’s latest project, dubbed Khanmigo and launched in 2023, provokes some of the same fears. Pairing generative AI with a user-friendly interface, the application, which is being piloted by over 600,000 students and teachers in the U.S., promises to deliver a personalized tutor to every classroom, allowing students to plug in and receive instruction on subjects ranging from elementary math to essay writing. Instead of simply providing answers to their questions, Khan says, new AI bots like Khanmigo are trained to serve as “thoughtful” mentors, prodding students with questions, giving them encouragement, and delivering feedback on their mistakes as they work to develop their own understanding.
