Bloom's Taxonomy

Teachers are responsible for providing students with knowledge of content they want them to ultimately know. The order of importance or hierarchy is determined by the teacher, and the emphasis is placed on the content or skills accordingly. In the physical education classroom, building the proper skills in order is extremely important. Students are told how to perform a skill, shown how to perform the skill And then our ass to perform and ultimately apply those skills within a game. In bloom’s taxonomy it is very evident of its use in the physical education classroom.

The school world has changed tremendously over the last decade. Teachers have had to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of the digital world. In order to provide the student students with the proper skills necessary, teachers must be willing to learn and adapt with the times as well. Teachers must strategize on the best ways to use digital and media literacy skills in order to prepare their students for the world after school.

This again ties back into Blooms Taxonomy.
