What Teachers Get Wrong about Bloom’s Taxonomy
...Bloom's Taxonomy has also done a lot of damage. For the past 40 years that I have been working with teachers, I have observed the primary effect of Bloom's Taxonomy to be this: It creates a hierarchy in teachers' minds about how we learn. First, we need to remember knowledge, then we can learn to understand, then we can move up to applying that knowledge, and so on, until finally, at the very end, we are allowed to evaluate or create. Based on these discrete steps, teachers, schools, and districts craft curriculum and lessons that separate these skills and assume that students must be proficient in one level to move up to the next one....
50 Resources for Teaching with Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy was a remarkable attempt to create a system of learning that focuses on how people learn and organize content around those natural aptitudes.
Created by Benjamin Bloom in 1956, he created a method to differentiate questions in the education system. Here you will find an enriched list of blog posts, apps, tools, videos and strategies to help educators become more proficient with the system.

SAMR and Bloom's Taxonomy: Assembling the Puzzle
This coupling of the SAMR model and Bloom’s Taxonomy has several desirable outcomes:
The already-familiar drive to reach the upper levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy now also acts as a drive to reach the upper levels of SAMR;
The approach outlines a clear set of steps that help guide the introduction of technology in the classroom;
Finally, the approach helps avoid pitfalls of self deception -- i.e., assuming that a particular task is at a higher level in either the Bloom or SAMR sense than it actually is.

Using Bloom’s Taxonomy to Write Effective Learning Objectives
How Bloom’s can aid in course design
Bloom’s taxonomy is a powerful tool to help develop learning objectives, because it explains the process of learning:
Before you can understand a concept, you must remember it.
To apply a concept you must first understand it.
In order to evaluate a process, you must have analyzed it.
To create an accurate conclusion, you must have completed a thorough evaluation.

Bloom’s Activity Analysis Tool |
I have been working on a simple method of analysing teaching and learning technologies against Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. I have taken the verbs associated with each of the taxonomic levels and arranged them across a sheets and then added a column for the activity components.
The idea is that you take your activity and break it down into the component elements and match these against the different taxonomic levels and the learning actions.
Making the most of Bloom's Taxonomy

Begin by moving past the idea that Bloom’s is a hierarchy with the implication of a linear progression of thinking from most simple towards most complex or valuable. See it instead as an intermeshed set of cognitive tasks that we combine and re-combine as our learning needs change. Such a process is particularly relevant to an inquiry process and using Bloom’s as an adjunct scaffold in this way can help students reflect on their learning. The process of inquiry might start anywhere on this jumbled up Taxonomy and where it progresses to next depends upon the learners progress through the task of solving a problem, creating a solution or refining an idea.
Bloom's Taxonomy Vs Depth of Knowledge

Bloom's taxonomy and Depth of Knowledge are two popular conceptual learning frameworks. They both approach the learning process from relatively different stands:Bloom's taxonomy seem to emphasize the categorization of tasks in a way that corresponds with students thinking levels ( e,g knowing, understanding, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating). Depth of Knowledge (DOK), on the hand, shifts the focus from the product or end result to focusing on the cognitive and thinking process. It extends beyond the what and digs deeper into the how.
4 Strategies For Teaching With Bloom's Taxonomy

For decades, education reform has been focused on curriculum, assessment, instruction, and more recently standards, and data, with these efforts only bleeding over into how students think briefly, and by chance. This means that the focus of finite teacher and school resources are not on promoting thinking and understanding, but rather what kinds of things students are going to be thinking about and how they’ll prove they understand them.
This stands in contrast to the characteristics of the early 21st century, which include persistent connectivity, dynamic media forms, information-rich (digital and non-digital) environments, and an emphasis on visibility for pretty much everything. What does this mean for how you use Bloom’s Taxonomy in your classroom? What kinds of adjustments should you make–if any–in light of these shifts in the 21st century?

Bloom's Taxonomy: What's Old Is New Again (pdf)

Those who design instruction use Bloom’s familiar pyramid and verbs to write learning objectives. Online instructors have used it to measure the quality of online discussions, and curriculum planners continue to find innovative applications of the framework. And it’s increasingly called on to support the new Common Core standards in K-12 education. But as you’ll see in this research report, educators in all venues can use revised and digital versions of Bloom’s to support what we now know about cognition, performance objectives, and social learning.

K-5 iPad Apps According to Bloom's Taxonomy

An elementary library media specialist reviews iPad apps as they map to an updated version of Bloom's Taxonomy in this six-part series.
"In this six-part series, I will highlight apps useful for developing higher order thinking skills in grades K-5 classrooms. Each list will highlight a few apps that connect to the various stages on Bloom's continuum of learning. Given the size and current exponential growth of the app market, I will also assist educators in setting criteria necessary to identify apps that maintain the integrity of teaching for thinking." -- Diane Darrow
