Week 2 - De Bono Wiki Reflection

The De Bono, wiki activity has been scaffolded to support a range of varying perspectives. With the wiki being classified as the digital pedagogy, the redefinition, particularly transformative; forms close ties with both Bloom’s Taxonomy and the SAMR model. This particular digital pedagogy enables links directly to Bloom’s Taxonomy, by the substantial use of higher order thinking processes such as: analysing, evaluating and synthesising critical and relevant information. The SAMR model, also interlinks with both frameworks as one uses this structure to identify ways in which they are able to implement this particular higher order thinking scaffold into every day learning where their students are challenged. This can be done with the application and assistance of contemporary technologies into classes that enable students to participate within collaborative learning. These three models have allowed for a scaffolded structure to be formed where it permits for both students and teachers to participate in the necessary higher order thinking that ICT provides, although whilst keeping in mind that students may struggle to involve themselves in contemporary technologies.
