Why should we use Blooms taxonomy in our classroom?
As educators in the 21st century, we are charged with educating students to be
successful in a complex, interconnected global society. This responsibility
requires schools to prepare students for technological, cultural, economic,
informational, and demographic changes. The higher-level thinking skills
embedded in Bloom’s Taxonomy target the 21st century skills needed today. It is
no longer sufficient to merely know the answer and regurgitate it on a test or
writing prompt. Instead, students need to be taught to take the knowledge and
understanding they have and use it in critical, creative, flexible, and
innovative ways.

ICT and Blooms Taxonomy
This page gathers all of the Bloomin' Apps projects in one place!
Each of the images has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for
iPad, Google, Android, and Web 2.0 applications
to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.
The use of the triangle shape for Bloomin' apps projects was not used
to help clear up the misunderstanding that the levels are hierarchical and
the top levels only make up a tiny portion of the cognitive processes.
