Rationale

I remember learning about Bloom's Taxonomy in college in the late 1970's. When I first started teaching in 1982, planning lessons was either by the book or hit or miss about a topic or concept. In the late 80's & early 90's, Whole Language Teaching and Learning was all the buzz. Lessons were developed around a theme and the curriculum was integrated throughout the theme. Then the standards came out and teaching became more scientific, research-based and data-driven. Of course, computer use was on the rise and became more used friendly and cost effective to be purchased for home use.

Bloom's has been redesigned for 21st century teaching and learning. You could say, "Bloom's has been digitized." It has been reestablished using verbs and technology for the next generation of teachers and students. Bloom's is made up of low level thinking skills and higher order thinking skills. Using glogster requires students to create a poster which actually is a combination of all those skills.
