What are your understandings of Blooms Taxonomy and DOK, and how can these be used for future instruction?
This was the question that was posed for us to talk about, there is a lot of information that goes along with both Blooms Taxonomy and DOK. To start off, let's talk about Blooms Taxonomy. below you will see the pyramid to Blooms Taxonomy.
I would incorporate this pyramid method into many instructional activities and lecture lessons I am teaching on different topics within the curriculum. I found this pyramid to be very educational and helpful for future classroom help. While reading through PowerPoints and talking about Blooms this pyramid showed me very in detailed information and a good visual of the overall outcome and expectations.
Now onto DOK...
Now with DOK (Depth of Knowledge) as you can see above it has the same type of look for stages of Blooms Taxonomy, but they do differ. Below you will see the DOK wheel that shows DOK1-4 and things that are involved with those stages as well.
Something that sparked my interest and became more apparent to me was the different stages that I would incorporate into my future classroom. In this stage DOK1 involve recall of information, such
as a fact, definition, term, or performance of
a simple procedure. DOK2 is Skills and Concepts, involves limited application of
skills and concepts. They must go beyond
simple recall to answer questions about
and make connections between pieces of
information. Next is DOK3, Strategic Thinking, involves deep understanding as
exhibited through planning, using
evidence, and more demanding cognitive
reasoning that is abstract and complex. And lastly, DOK4, Extended Thinking, this involves extended thinking to solve
authentic and complex problems
with unpredictable outcomes. This type of
task requires highly sophisticated and
creative thinking because it is open-ended
by design—there is no correct answer. I found all of these stages to be very informative and I would like to incorporate this into my classroom. These stages will help me will curriculum topic ideas for lessons and activities within the classroom and also help me with evaluation on assessments.

Hi Ali! I think your blog set up is great! It looks like you have a great understanding of each framework. I like how you discussed the different tasks you would do/levels the tasks would fit into based on DOK's level standards. <I hope that makes sense.
Overall, I think you explained everything nicely and thoroughly.
Ali, you provided a lot of great information in this blog. I also like how detailed you were when expressing how you would incorporate this into your own classroom. Great job!
