Revised Bloom's Taxonomy

In our Pinnacle experience today, we dealt with LoTi and Revised Bloom's Taxonomy. We really value the addition of the "create" as the top of the heirarchy. As we saw in our study of 21st century skills, providing students the opportunity to problem solve and create a product collaboratively is important to elicit those skills.

Shelley Wright, posting on the PLP Network, writes about a completely different approach to Bloom's in light of that very fact. She suggests that inverting the entire taxonomy would provide a much better experience for students. Read her post "Flipping Bloom's Taxonomy."

After reading her post, please leave a comment here. What is your reaction to her suggestion? She suggests a fairly specific project in which inverting Bloom's applies, can you think of any you might implement in your classroom? or perhaps situations in which in often would not work?

Also, please check out another interesting Twitter find for Edutechalogy. This flash app makes suggestions based on the level of Bloom's in the Cognitive and Knowledge domains.
