Learning isn't linear...

Flipping is the new black. Flipped classrooms. Flipped learning.

And now flipped Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Shelley Wright has written a a brilliant post about flipping Bloom’s Taxonomy, complete with wonderful examples of the process in action in Science, Media Studies and English classes.

To me, it’s not so much about flipping as about rethinking altogether. Learning isn’t linear. It’s not a step by step, one size fits all process.
