"The Evolving Role of Bloom's Taxonomy with AI"- Presented by Vriti Saraf

Join us for an insightful virtual presentation where we will delve into the profound impact of AI on Bloom's Taxonomy. This session will explore how generative AI tools are reshaping educational practices by handling high-level cognitive tasks such as analysis and synthesis, traditionally emphasized in Bloom's framework. District leaders will gain valuable insights into how these advancements necessitate a reevaluation of task design and the potential evolution of Bloom's Taxonomy to include new levels like metacognition and innovation. Don't miss this opportunity to learn and engage with other leaders on the future of education.
